LONDON: “End of the World”

Either you are disappointed or you are relieved that we survived or should one say, we didn’t kick the bucket just yet.
Me?
You see… I’ve went trough the “End of the World” saga already a few months ago when we shot this editorial with one hardworking team of creatives for FASHIONISING.COM.
Editorial was out yesterday.
Just in time!

MODNA Interview

Just a quick one this time!

As the new Issue of Modna is out, I guess I can post an interview they’ve done with me for their previous, 18th Issue, for those who understand the lingo.

For those who don’t ahhhmmm, …
I won’t be translating as there are 3 pages, but if you would like to know something feel free to ask.
I will do my best to answer.

Here is the link to the post about the Cover I have shot for the September issue of Modna:

Modna versus Myself

I realize it’s been almost 2 weeks since this certain magazine came out but I’m rather shy & as its not in my nature I didn’t think of blogging about it until a friend suggested.

Just over a month ago a journalist called Masa contacted me, very randomly, saying she is interested in interviewing me for a magazine called Modna.
Modna is a well known Slovenian fashion magazine. This September issue was its relaunch and 18th birthday. I ended up shooting the cover for it too.
For those who don’t know how to connect Slovenia & me…?
Well thats where I grew up.
Slovenia is small but has everything one wants.
It’s kind of like Neverland. Whenever I return, its still as beautiful and peaceful as it was when I last left.
S-afe, L-oving, O-ptimistic, its a chicken shaped land with all four seasons to it, has its faults yes but it’s innocence will make you fall for it & individuals you meet there might surprise & stay with you for life.

And

Masa, well she is one of those down to earth people you can just chill, chat and hang out with & in the meanwhile forget she’s interviewing you. Thats exactly what happened. As a matter a fact the whole team at the shoot was super relaxed & upbeat.

Images below are from the “Launch party”. As I wasn’t there nor held or seen the magazine yet it’s kind of funny seeing people i dont know holding this magazine with me on the cover. Funny but amazing all at the same time!

Check it out and if you end up visiting Slovenia or live there, go buy Modna and let me know what you think of the interview.
