[ep_anoui] by Eva Poleschinski Goes International!

Photographer: Markus Thums, Make Up: Thomas Lorenz, Hair: Alice Retzl, Model: Madalina (Body & Soul)

Vienna-Paris-Tokyo! My facebook friend Eva Poleschinski finished a world tour with her amazing, ethereal Spring/Summer 2010 collection with international buyers and media present. The shows began with Vienna's MQ VIENNA FASHION WEEK in September last year, then a special show in Paris the following month. I was thrilled to see that two weeks later, Eva was in Tokyo. When last we spoke I had recommended Japan as a strong addition to her fan base. I knew they would love her highly refined contemporary pieces as much as I do! Finally her line hits stores and comes to the public as we speak.

This S/S 2010 collection is very strongly rooted in nature and headed by mythological inspirations. Poleschinski's materials include leather on silk and straw on metal striking a harmonious balance.

Stay tuned for a sneak peak of [ep_anoui] Fall/Winter 2010/11 "A Promissing Tomorrow" presented in Paris 4th-7th march.2010- & Huge show at the VIENNA AWARDS FOR FASHION & LIFESTYLE; 15th of March in cooperation with Swarovski Crystalized & Goldwell.

My Facebook friend from Austria Eva Poleschinski creates beautiful clothing and styles them beautifully too! For this shoot, she used model is Valentins from Body & Soul. This set was filmed at artist Lutz Bielefeldt's place in Vienna. Wardrobe styling was by Eva and all the clothing was from her fabulous SS09 ep_anoui collection! Her design label's name "Epanoui" means to blossom; the word formation came from the initials of her name.

Michele Pauty, the Austrian photographer, works in press, fashion and art. She continuously tries to uncover the unique beauty in every person and situation, to learn more about this upcoming talent, check out her website at michelepauty.com.

These gorgeous fashion editorials are from across the sea. Meet the photographer, Johannes P. Stamcar. During our online interview, Johannes promised, "And of course, I would tell you with pleasure something about this Fashion Shooting, this was also a big history which is also to see on television!" How could I resist telling the story of someone with such adorable english skills. A 36-year-old Austrian, living in Linz and working around the world, Stamcar shoots fashion, glamour and portraits. This production took place in a castle in Germany called “Schloss Mainberg” scouted by Matthias Breitenbach.

The location and photographer weren’t the only impressive components on this shoot. Stamcar’s production consisted of a stellar team! Margarita Ruhl was his model, who took part in Germany’s Next Top Model 2009 hosted by Heidi Klum and was Miss Hesse/Germany 06. (Unfortunately, I don’t think she got super far on GNTM because I can’t see her on their site. Their loss!) The amazing clothes were from Eva Poleschinski’s SS09 collection. (More about her later. She’s a brilliant stylist too!) Makeup styling was by Bettina Strodl and hair was done by Edin Besic.

A television crew filming a story on fashion also accompanied them on set. The TV people aren’t the only ones who will be following Johannes and all of his exceptional team, so will I!
