Irina Lazareanu by Rasmus Skousen for Cover February 2011
Liking Irina Lazareanu is kinda a conundrum to me. I don’t find her a particularly great model, but yet something about her pixie-like features always gets me. Or perhaps it’s because I always get some sort of mischievous vibe from her. I like that feeling: the feeling that she could start wreaking havoc at any moment. In this shoot, she’s tagging the wall while wearing a cream pencil skirt and cropped sweater with elbow patches in the last shot haha. Adorable and a punk. What a combination.
Actually, I really like that sort of contrast. That could be why I like her. She always comes off effortlessly cool in whatever she wears, whether that is a sparkley mini skirt with tucked in Henley or a belted cardigan without any pants. Moreover, the setting is awesome. I would love to take pictures in a place like that. Graffiti is intriguing to me; I see it as creative expression rather than vandalism (even if it is that at times). The graffiti-ed and semi-stripped walls provide just the right amount of romantic urban dilapidation to this shoot. And it feels like a hipster party could break out at any moment. Overall, this editorial just has a gritty city vibe to it that I like.
