I find the word 'fierce' and 'ferocious' overrated, but that's what is. Farah Khan went local this time around, featuring the leggy amazonian Angie Ng. Love this! Kudos to Cheah Wei Chun and his team, consisting of makeup maestro Sheng Saw, photographer Bustamam Mokhtar and hairstylist Olivia Ooi for producing this. More of the campaign at Sheng's.

love the poster. has a classic modern quality to it. can instantly see the de stijl partition.

Not sure which magazine this spread comes from. But loving the comic reference.

Top Ten: The 2009 CFDA / Vogue Fashion Fund Finalists

Do you think fashion magazines are as good now? They're different. The reason I did fashion was it was the only way to get paid to do anything creative. You couldn't support yourself as an "artist" – I hate that word. The only way you could be "arty" was as a fashion photographer, because it still had a certain amount of integrity involved. Now it's such a mass industry. They just churn it out. There's not much personality in it any more. You can't say, "That's a Helmut Newton picture", because you don't know who took the picture. "Who did the retouching?" is the question you ask. It makes mediocrity look good. And people who are really good, it makes them look mediocre, so it's a levelling out. It's a bit like socialism.
