Yesterday, Friday 19th November, marked the one year anniversary of South Korean model, Daul Kim's death. I thought it would be fitting for me to commemorate her life and work by choosing Daul to be the first model featured in my 'Model Muse' posts. When I first saw this editorial in RUSSH Magazine (Nov-Dec '09 Australia) I was taken in by Daul's honesty and aura, I was inspired by her work and also the creative styling by Stevie Dance and photography by Beau Grealy. Note that Daul wears the famous Meadham Kirchoff blue boots (which weren't available to buy because they were too expensive to make!). There are more photos in this editorial which are equally as worthy of publishing but I only have the hardcopy of the magazine and no scanner, so I'll upload some rough photos of the others shots later.
Let us remember the work of this talented and kind-hearted person, Daul Kim. May she rest in peace.

Additional photos taken of the hardcopy magazine (using my camera):

I was very inspired when I saw this editorial in Culture Magazine. I immediately bought it and marvelled at the combination of colours, prints, textures and styles. This is creativity and the creation of a unique look at its best. I must say I'm also impressed by the model who has a very strong presence and seems to strike the most appropriate poses for the "mood" of the clothing. I highly recommend this magazine to anyone interested in creative styling, especially hair. It does appear that the main focus of the magazine is hair, and let me tell you, having looked for a decent magazine dealing solely with the cuts, colours and styles of the moment, this is the only one I found with class and innovation.
