David LaChapelle FLAUNTs Naomi Campbell
World famous Photographer David LaChapelle captured Naomi Campbell looking every bit the African Queen that she is for the cover of FLAUNT magazine. The only possible result of a Campbell and LaChapelle collaboration is an iconic photograph, which is exactly the case with their latest.
The British supermodel and the famed photographer have created a piece of digital art titled, “The Rape of Africa.” The photo is from his latest exhibition and is currently gracing the Eden issue of FLAUNT magazine.
LaChapelle premiered the work of art at Gallery Alex Daniëls in Amsterdam. The image carries LaChapelle’s signature clearly and is as colourful and elaborate as one would expect from him- a combination of the fashion work that made him a star and his new direction.
References Botticelli’s Venus and Mars. Naomi Campbell takes the part of Venus. LaChapelle transforms the image to modern day relevance, with a subtle edge. Showing a little nip, Campbell is the peaceful center of attention in a war zone aftermath. Compare the images below and read more about the gallery show here.
In other brief Naomi news, she is set to guest edit one of the upcoming spring issues for Russian Vogue. She must be feeling right at home in the native country of her billionaire boyfriend, real estate entrepreneur Vladislav Doroninnative.
