BLK #16: Paul Empson and Sam Ranger shoot Valerija Kelava in London

Valerija for NY Time's T Mag by Richard Burbridge
As the new year kicks in we're pleased to say our third fashion editorial for BLK #16 has been completed in London. Photographer Paul Empson and fashion editor Sam Ranger have shot one of the great rock'n'roll models of our time, Valerija Kelava. Kelava, a favourite of Paolo Roversi, David Sims and Glen Luchford among others exudes a devil-may-care androgeny that Patti Smith would be proud of. She crosses boundaries by simply being Valerija Kelava which is perhaps why Tai Missoni looks so comfortable with her (below). BLK #16 out end of April...
