As a precursor to the ready-to-wear season that begins in a fortnight in New York, Erjona Ala (Ford) featured in five Couture Spring 2012 presentations in Paris this week including Chanel and Giambattista Valli amongst others. Erjona’s runway credentials were firmly established a season ago on the back of 64 shows and the model herself was widely hailed as one of the season’s breakout stars. Erjona is now beginning to translate her success on runway into print and to that end she can be seen in Vogue Deutsch Februar 2012 in story by photography duo Max von Gumppenberg and Patrick Bienert. Titled “Weiß wie Schwarz,” the Nicola Knels-styled story dispenses with all but the most essential elements and sticks with white on white combinations. Erjona’s first look, a white sports coat by Dolce & Gabbana and white cashmere turtleneck by Allude, set against a white background serves to amplify a strong red lip by makeup artist Mickael Noiselet. For her second look, Erjona wears a one-piece suit by Stella McCartney. The pair of portraits are a respectable showing and will no doubt be the first of many to come for the Erjona Ala.
