CRASH 103: THE SUPERNATURAL ISSUE

By Max Mendel

To celebrate the 100th anniversary of surrealism, Crash 103, features an exploration of fashion imagery and its ability to blur the line between reality and fiction.

This issue includes :

Bruce Gilden’s striking portraits on the culturally renowned Brighton Beach, photographed in the candid camera x surreal style. The legendary Sarah Moon brings Prada’s Autumn-Winter collection to life in a grand Saint-Germain-des-Prés mansion. Reto Schmid transports Chanel’s Autumn-Winter collection into a futuristic architectural landscape. Through a delicate play between light and shadow Charles Fréger photographs Noir Kei Ninomiya’s sculptural pieces in an evocative, kinetic series titled “Lost Boys”. Each story is a testament to the art of fashion and the imagination.

Armelle Leturcq, editor-in-chief of Crash expresses:

“When it comes to fashion imagery, some would say that it’s a simulacrum, since it’s all about representing a garment. But that’s without taking into account what these images convey about our times.”

“A fashion story is a collective adventure, a reflection, an attempt to create situations and, quite simply, to create its own reality, its own simulacra.”

Within the Supernatural issue, you’ll also find a world where fashion, art, and surrealism collide. Suki Waterhouse is photographed and interviewed in a raw yet eccentric series by Cameron Postforoosh. The issue also features the powerful Opera work of Adel Abdessemed, while Pino Pascali is commemorated and celebrated on the occasion of the retrospective at the Prada Foundation; Iconic Pop artists Allen Jones transports us into his working process, and Fanny Latour-Lambert revisits 1924 in a stunning visual narrative celebrating Loro Piana.

Visionary contributions continue with Jürgen Klauke’s evocative interview. Actor Julien De Saint Jean’s, acclaimed for his role in Le Comte de Monte Christo, is photographed by Grégoire Alexandre in Dior Men. Charles Fréger, photographer of tribes and traditional clothing, plunged into a cave with a model dressed in Fendi Fall Winter Collection, while underground filmmaker Bertrand Mandico’s “Fluidity and Sexuality Everywhere” interview deconstructs identity through a fusion of artificiality and eccentricity thus pushing the boundaries of identity.

Crash 103: “Supernatural” is available globally and at the Crash boutique.
