Rachel Clark | Nino Muñoz | Town & Country | March 2011

When WWD wrote that Creative Director David Lipman’s March issue of Town & Country brings a healthy dose of sex to the magazine, they didn’t exaggerate.

“There are many ways to be rich these days,” said outgoing editor in chief Stephen Drucker. “We just wanted to make it feel modern and a little sexier.”

Hello now very pregnant Lauren Santo Domingo. Goodbye Ina Garten. This redo of Town & Country looks a lot more promising than the last face lift.

This photo shoot by Nino Muñoz, features $73 million worth of diamonds on soaking wet, nude model Rachel Clark. Twenty-three security guards were on hand at the shoot.

“I love any page with the words ‘price on request’ six times,” Drucker said. Smart Sensuality women are more into global microfinance than cascades of diamonds.

Positioning T&C as sexy is a trend we must follow. Nino Muñoz delivers upscale sensuality all the way. It’s about ‘her’, not the rocks.

We like this editorial because so many luxury brands make it seem like sexuality has no place in a woman’s life. She is the sum of her baubles. In these Rachel Clark images, we relate to ‘her’ and the suds are fabulous.

Great start for David Lipman as Creative Director. Jay Fielden takes over as Editor-in-Chief. Fielden was editor of now defunct Men’s Vogue.
