“My love affair is with the West. I could never have my heart elsewhere, not for long. I need the space and distances as much as I need to eat.”~ Kurt Markus The fashion world discovered Kurt’s talent and being a fluid, creative industry always sort out the best of the best to engage with. Nothing has really changed since Conde Nast first hired Edward Steichen to work for his magazines at the beginning of the 20th Century.It is always an intense balancing act for any creative artist such as Kurt to not only satisfy the clients wishes but also to produce something very personal that they too can be proud of. This is such an image. The project was inspired by no less a cultural icon than Georgia O’Keeffe, who was beyond fashionable even though she expressed no interest in fashion at all. She lived for her art and just that. In the model, Cynthia Antonio, Kurt found his muse and with his love of the landscape and his eye for balance he brought something so special to this genre that it stands alone on its own merits.
