Thunder Love Has Struck Us Again

The darling Anders Christian Madsen (@anderscmadsen) has supplied models.com with previews of the editorials appearing in the upcoming 10th Anniversary issue of DANSK Magazine, and this gives us a second look at what Freja's been up to with model/photographer, Christian Brylle (@c_brylle), who's hair is always trippin' and who's abs are always rippin'. Styling credits go to Anders Sølvsten Thomsen (@anderslondon), who was also on hand for both covers and several of the editorials in the issue. 

I am really looking forward to seeing Freja back in DANSK after such a long time. Hell, I'm looking forward to seeing Freja in an editorial in general. When was the last time she got artsy, anyway? I swear, it was like the last time I wrote a bleeding blog post or something... 

Anyway, here's the preview shot, drool over it before bed tonight, or before breakfast this morning, or whatever time it is wherever you are. And repeat. I shan't be analyzing this until the full editorial has been released, but until then, please bask in the awesomeness of Scandinavia. 

Peace, love, and floating,

* "Apparitions" was the second single from Raven in the Grave, the fifth record by The Raveonettes. Sumptuously dark and broody, these two Danes have one of the most seductive soundscapes in music today. Fans of the recently popular Warpaint, take note.

Meisel Once More

So remember what I said in the last paragraph of this post? Well, this is once instance where I'm absolutely, positively thrilled to be proven wrong. Freja is once again one of the girls featured in Steven Meisel's latest editorial for Vogue Italia. If you're keeping score, that's now two times in a row that they've worked together.

We only have previews so far like the picture above, and it's unclear whether or not this editorial was shot in an unique way like the last editorial where the girls shot themselves. Even if that's the case, Meisel is still working with Freja now and I'm still shocked. How do you suddenly go from one extreme to the other like this? Although, since he did go from working with Elise and Daria a lot to not working with them at all now, it's possible that the opposite could happen like it seems to be happening with Freja. If any one has any insider insight into this and is willing to share, my e-mail's to the right. ;)

Nevertheless, I'm still a little skeptical since both editorials have featured large, multi-girl casts. Until Meisel photographs Freja for something like an ad campaign, the VI cover or a solo-girl editorial, I'll have a hard time believing that he's actually changed his mind about Freja. Does he read tFS's "Most Viewed Models" thread or something? Is her fame too much to ignore that he caved to the pressures? I doubt that because he's such a big name and legend in fashion that I don't see him bending to anyone else's whims. There must be some explanation for this right? Or maybe I should just stop wondering why and just be happy for the who, what, where and when.
