    'Flor', Vogue Spain, June 2018. n.p.

  • Catalogue Essay

    Emma Summerton unveils her whimsical vision with a carefully crafted floral celebration for Vogue Spain’s June 2018 cover story, featuring Karlie Kloss. In the present work, Karlie is presented as a faceless mannequin, covered head to toe in a patchwork of brightly coloured, elaborately patterned textiles. Fabric printed with a sky motif is used as the backdrop, as well as on the floor, transforming the studio into a surreal setting. The fascinating interplay between art and artifice, as seen here, is a distinctive element in Summerton’s photographs. Collaborating regularly with such leading publications as Vogue, i-D, Self Service and Dazed & Confused, Australian-born Summerton divides her time between London and New York. Her work has been exhibited internationally, including ArtisTree’s Beyond Fashion in Hong Kong (2019) and the upcoming Body Beautiful: Diversity on the Catwalk at the National Museum of Scotland opening in May 2019.
