Hannelore Knuts | Leonora Hamill | Tar Magazine F/W 2011 | 'Holy Hanna'

Hannelore Knuts is called ‘Holy Hanna’ for a reason, surrounded by religious iconography inspired by themes that dominate ancient history and women’s lives. The winged lion with book open is a symbol of peace, for example. Book closed is a symbol of war.

The winged lion is frequently found in cultures that also celebrate the phoenix, completed by a unicorn and griffin in Persian history. New York-based Tar magazine is speaking in serious culture code with Leonora Hamill’s images of Hannelore’s fashion world.

Stylist Ilaria Norsa simplifies the discussion with selections from Giorgio Armani, Alberta Ferretti, Ralph Lauren, Yves Saint Laurent, Dries Van Noten, Chanel and Céline. / Beauty by Claudia Marchetto, Hair by Simone Prusso, Stylist’s Assistant – Luca Galasso
