Greg Lotus transports us back to the glamour of the 1940s for Vogue Italia. The talented lensman shoots Tanya Dziahileva, Christina Carey and newcomer Janete Friedrich for a series of images that look like stills from a neo-Noir film. Each girl plays her part perfectly and the dramatic lighting, combined with the overarching sense of mystery makes for an especially intriguing tale.

Siri Tollerod and Elena Melnik hit the road in the new Vogue Italia. The stunning pair star as femme fatales in Greg Lotus‘ Suggestions editorial. The overall feel is very Hitchcockian. Hints of Alfred’s icy muses Tippi Hedren and Kim Novak run through the entire story. Make no mistake though, Siri and Elena are not damsels in distress – in the stylized shoot the elegantly coiffed duo seem ready to make their own mischief.
