Suvi Koponen sets sail across the Caribbean waters, dressed in light, white clothing; perfectly suited to the warm weather in the area. Mikael Jansson and Karl Templer take us on another fantastic, exotic voyage here.

A model who I wouldn’t consider to be one of my favourites but who does perform fantastically in print work is Suvi Koponen. The Finnish model lies back in some unused boat sails as the sun hits her face, creating interesting shadow patterns. An intriguing close-up, shot by Mikael Jansson.

An image that depicts how some of you may be spending your summer; lying in amongst the ropes and unused sails of a boat whilst sailing through the West Indies. If that’s not the case, then direct your eyes to this beautiful, light image of Suvi Koponen as an unearthly ship captain as conceived by the ever reliable Jansson/Templer duo.

Mikael Jansson’s summer fantasy editorials, replete with nautical themes and blue skies are complete perfection. Which is why this Vogue Nippon editorial entitled ‘Purity Of Heavens’ starring Suvi Koponen more than satisfies my sartorial eye. Featuring the Finnish model dressed in a clean look from Marni’s Spring/Summer 2007 collection and resting in amongst the sales of a ship it will be the perfect visual accompaniment to the upcoming summer months.

A fresh, simple and ‘kawaii’ (as the Japanese say) cover for Vogue Nippon May 2005 starring Gemma Ward, dressed in Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2005 and shot by Craig McDean. A post for her fans who miss her presence in the modelling world. Sometimes I miss her too.

I’m not always one for Snejana Onopka, but there is something about her icy exterior that translates well into more formal, composed images like this one. Wearing Giorgio Armani F/W 2007 she exudes class and confidence in this clean Craig McDean shot.

Suvi Koponen looks striking in this atmospheric shot that features her aboard a ship, sailing somewhere around Antigua.

If I remember correctly, Karl styled all of the Vogue Nippon covers from 2005 to right at the beginning of 2008; which were all shot by Craig McDean. Here is one of the most memorable ones, featuring Sasha Pivovarova at her most pretty, stripped of all gimmicks. The Balenciaga piece gives the cover a laid-back, autumnal vibe.
