Veruschka 1974
Bob Krieger
Bob Krieger is a photographer that is known internationally. From the faces of people in politics, entertainment, culture, sports and fashion: He does it all. Being a descendant from Egypt, he has taken with him his mother's artistic talent that was inherited by a household of painters, actors, and artists. Bob Krieger also has adapted to his father's rigorous character which shows in his captured photos.
The photograph entitled Veruschka embodies goddess appeal, with an overall structural approach. Her bow and arrow shows that she is a strong and determined and that she is bounded by her confidence and poise. She has the freedom to explore her strengths.

Fall/Winter 2011
New York
Irina Shabayeva is a New York based fashion designer and the recent winner of Project Runway of season 6 and continues to design headstrong with the aspects of art, nature, world travel, and fantasy.
In this particular Fall/Winter 2011 debut collection by Shabayeva, freedom was the one word that describes the direction of her clothing.
The Veruschka photograph can be interpreted in so many different ways. In this leather piece, the center of the jacket represents the form of the bow and the arrow is shattered into little bits at the shoulders. There is symmetry in both the Veruschka photograph and the garment as well as in the body language accompanied by many triangular shapes. To me the fashion side is an abstract representation of the bow and arrow. When viewing the jacket straight on, an arrow can be seen, and as you tilt your head sideways, you can see an actual bow.
