“The worlds of fashion and fetish industries have always been connected. Nobuyoshi Araki’s black and white photographs of Tokyo’s sex clubs in the 70’s are just as famous as Tim Walker’s fashion campaigns and Helmut Newton’s work would sit comfortably in an issue of Vogue or Playboy magazine. Consequently, the way nudity is presented in fashion advertising has been slowly shifting in the past few years. Nudity is becoming more and more commonplace within the fashion industry. But how far is too far?My project looks into how men are dependant on women to fulfil their sexual needs, because of this they give women the power in these situations. I am looking into how these women empower themselves by using their sexuality and their bodies willingly, to create a career.”

Michail Jarojov’s jewellery and accessory designs, a.k.a. Mjaro Boutique, are intricate, symbolic, sometimes geometrical and sometimes sensual, and in his own words, philosophical. I discovered his work online and we arranged to shoot these pieces in London with photographer Eric Schneider. Make-up artist Asta Gost designed the heavy, forlorn gothic countenance to go with the look.
