A quirky, offbeat close-up image of Malgosia Bela in some bold frames, taken from Vogue Paris’ March 2006 editorial, ‘Star System’, shot by David Sims. This shot might not be typical eye wear imagery but exhibits an upbeat, creative streak evident in all of Sims and Templer’s collaborations.

Emily Sandberg and Malgosia Bela engage in a martial arts match (not sure exactly which ‘art’ is being performed here) for Fabien Baron’s Olympics inspired editorial, ‘Mount Olympus’, published in W Magazine’s February 2000 issue. The angles that the models create in this photo add a strength and dynamism to Baron and Templer’s eye-catching image.

A photograph of Malgosia Bela by David Sims that has a left field sense of ‘joie de vivre’ about it. The Polish model is re imagined as a modern day French aristocrat, enjoying a summer holiday in Los Angeles. That was and still is the life after all.

An image that has an old Hollywood appeal about it yet remains just austere enough to make it look modern, this shot of Malgosia Bela by David Sims brings to mind the great, retro white clothes from Spring/Summer 2006 back to memory.

Here’s a slightly eerie image of a vintage styled Malgosia Bela. Karl styled her in the same Calvin Klein cardigan that he used for Daria’s ‘La Plage’ editorial. Here it looks just as luxurious but is photographed by David Sims in a darker context.

I love the simple but stunning editorial that this image comes from, ‘X-Couture’ from Vogue Italia’s September 1999 Couture Supplement. This image of Malgosia Bela (well, at least the lower quarter of her face) in Yves Saint Laurent Fall/Winter 1999 couture is impeccably lit. I love the oily, futuristic feel of this image, achieved by combining body make-up with unique lighting effects.

An image that mixes classic mid-20th century decadent style with a little bit of austerity, Malgosia Bela is the lady of the house with an edge in David Sims’ editorial for Vogue Paris’ March 2006 issue, ‘Star System’.

A bare room, a table, a picture frame with an image of what appears to be cells and a lot of flashy Dolce & Gabbana. Somehow all of these seemingly unrelated elements come together to form a quintessential, modern vision of beauty courtesy of Steven Klein and Karl Templer. This image starring Hannelore Knuts and Malgosia Bela was taken from Vogue Italia’s February 1999 issue.

Another cinematic shot here, this time shot by David Sims and starring Malgosia Bela in a Louise Brooks-like wig, taken from an editorial entitled ‘Star System’, taken from Vogue Paris’ March 2006 issue (whose content was shot entirely by Sims). I like the contrast between Malgosia’s concealed body language and the open air and space in the backdrop of the black and white image.

Malgosia Bela is hyperactive to say the least in this zany editorial shot in LA by David Sims for Vogue Paris back in 2006.
