NO issue #8 DOUBLE TROUBLE
photographer: Natasha Cantwell
stylist: Zara Mirkin
behind the scenes
photographer: Colin Sokol





















Here it is - the shoot that I did for NO magazine while I was in New Zealand..the issue is now out! I haven't gotten a copy yet so I just have some LQ shots from a PDF but Colin was busy snapping away throughout behind the scenes and befriending the resident cat. This was literally right after the 13 hour flight to Auckland but everyone's amazing energy kept me going..thank you to Melinda, Anna, Zara, Amber, Natasha, and Charlotte! Highlights: wearing gold sequin Louis Vuitton boots and that Moschino belt, marveling at the extremely varied taxidermy around me, getting acquainted with the New Zealand skyline from the sunwashed patio, and witnessing Zara's genius madcap styling firsthand. Hope you like it.

I'm glad one of your highlights was that Moschino belt because it's fabulously tacky in the greatest way.

Love all the behind the scenes shots. Did you get to keep any shoes or clothes? :)
Gorgeous!
Get it, Rumi! I'd look way more like one of those taxidermy animals after a 13 hour flight, but you rocked it out! Congrats! Colin's shot of you with horns is my personal fave.
You look absolutely gorgeous!
The styling is on point. It's refreshing to see someone style you for a change. You look great.
The shoot looks amazing! Especially love the natural top with ruffles. Thanks for sharing.
Great work
That cat looks like a tiger.

dear colin
1st photo of the cat = priceless. love the rest of the photos too, esp one with the rocking horse.
am thinking that one photo--the one w/ moschino belt/zillion buckle wedges/nude fishnets/armchair could have been made even more aweome w/ a superwide lens @ ground level! i do like it as is, though. lighting is ridiculously pretty.
gorgeous photos! looks like you had tonnes of fun.

Horrible...dead animals???
Even though I follow your blog religiously, I've never commented on here prior to this but I felt I just HAD to tell you how extremely gorgeous these shots (and you) are! Absolutely stunning. And your eye makeup in the very first picture is beautiful and flawlessly done! I really hope you get more opportunities to appear in magazines like this. really great work :)
Zara is such a talented stylist, she also did the cover and shoot w Alice Dellal in the same issue of NO. www.fashiongonerogue.com AMAZING!
omg those suede purple booots drooooool.
love this shoot rumi.
looks like so much fun
ridiculously sexy.

Oh my! You look INCREDIBLE!!!

this is the best !!! superbbb younglady ;)
This house is disgusting, plenty of dissected animals and real fur (even with the foxes heads). U said u were "pescatarian" but i see its just cause the "weight" or cause u think its cool; u dont respect animals at all.

Wow, these turned out really great. I'm chartreuse with envy that you got to wear those gold sequined shoes and I will never even see them in real life! It's quite unfortunate, since I have a gold sequined dress that would look WONDERFUL with them
The pics are really stunning!

Is all that fur real? Do you feel proud of posing between so much poor innocent animals?
P.D: Sorry if there is any gramatical mistake
rumi, i loved your blog up til now. but the use of fur is really appalling. disappointed :(
-shereen
beautiful! the magazine photos came out gorgeous! and i love the one colin took of you in the chair with the LV boots. those draw the eye!
these are gorgeous photos! You look stunning!
All so beautiful.
I'm I love with those gold sequin Louis Vuitton boots, absolute love.
very foxy indeed.
my favorite combination has to be the vanilla quarter sleeves, faint pink short shorts, moschino belt, and wicked buckled wedges.
honestly, the fur disgusts me. i dont know how anyone could lay in a pile of innocent dead animals. and i thought you didnt eat meat and werent too fond of fur? i hate how poor little animals have to die in order for someone too try and look cool wearing fur.
i really like your blog, but the fur is just disgraceful.
You look awesome! I love the look of that place-such great styling!
aww i love these pics! u look gorgeous in all of them :)
love those shoes u have on on the last pic with the long straps

This shoot is crazy. The shoes and the moschino belt are just amazing the behind the scenes pictures are stunning and that cat is adorable.
The taxidermy is insane, but cool. I wish i looked like that after a 13 hour flight!
z.xx
you look amazing.. but the fact that you are sitting on dead animals just digusts me... fur is just not cool at all.. it's actually really sad
I love those golden shoes and the belt.
Nice photo shoot!!!
I like (no love) the photos that Colin did, more than the magazine shoot.
Gorgeous! And what a sweet kitty cat.

tu posa em meio de vĂ¡rios casacos de pele e ainda acha lindo?
tenho Ă© dĂ³.
te achava linda, agora tu me da ansia.
your hair almost looks as gross as the pile of dead animals ur laying on...*gag* So sad.
i love your style! and this is just lovely! altough im not a big fan of the all the fur and the dead animals... other then that its just sooo cool!
hahah.. all these anons are so dumb.. hello she was styled... and it's not her house.. she didn't pick out what she wears.. fucking dumb..
but anyways.. I love those louis gold heels!
Love your hair, and the tutu top is adorable!
WOW! I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A FAN OF YOURS BUT TO SEE MY COMMENT IN THE LAST POST WAS DELETED REALLY BOTHERS ME...ALL I SUGGESTED WAS DOING A POST ON GIVING BACK TO THOSE WHO HAVE NO CLOTHES. WE LIVE IN SUCH A CAPITALISTIC SOCIETY WHERE CONSUMERISM RULES AND YOUR BLOG DOES NOTHING BUT PERPETUATE IT..HOW BOUT SHOWING THESE YOUNG GALS HOW TO BE HUMANITARIANS AND ONCE SOMETHING GOES OUT OF STYLE DONATE IT! THATS ALL IM SAYING...I SEE YOU SELL LOTS OF YOUR OLD ITEMS ON SHOPTOAST..WHY NOT RUN A CLOTHING DRIVE ON YOUR BLOG FOR PEOPLE WHO CANT EVEN AFFORD A WINTER JACKET OR UNDIES! YOU HAVE THE OLLOWING..PUT IT TO GOOD USE~
I like it. Very intricate.
this looks awesome!!!
congrats girl
xx!
great photos
Unfortunately Im a no fur activist so i found it a bad message to the weak minds.
nice behind the scenes shots by colin! the styling is so cool, love it.
Congratulations, it looks like a you had a really good time! :)
i think those leopard shoes of yours are infamous...great pics!

I absolutely dislike this photoshoot. Something really disturbs me.
Colin's photography is great, as usual, but for some reason I can't explain, you look 'fake' on these shoots.
Maybe it's because I feel something awkward about the place or the clothes but it doesn't suit you at all.
I mean, I have seen you in a very better look than this one.
love the moschino belt and that shoulder padded blazer.

XOXO
Fur? You should be as disappointed as I am.
so beautiful!!!
Taxidermy is done on animals who have DIED. not animals who have been slaughtered just for the sake of it. I hope that's the case in this house...
Half of them are foxes which are pests for farmers anyway. They cull and skin them all the time.
I agree somewhat with the anon comments and don't think this is a good message to be sending out to people. But there are people who like fur, and people who don't. You can't please everyone and you shouldn't feel you have to.
You look great and I hope you don't take all these stupid negative comments to heart.

the last two are amazing. colin has a very selby-like lighting to his photos.... and you look so glam! really cool.
