'If you leave something behind, you have the chance to find something new. Thus is the guiding principle of the nomad. In Mongolia, we got into the vibe – and experienced days of exploration on the move,' photographer ESTHER HAASE tells us about her unforgettable production for ICON MAGAZINE. In front of the camera stood Eny Jaki from Munich Models and retoucher Simone Fiege took care of finishing.
Created between the sand dunes of Elsen Tasarkhai and the Chöwsgöl province with its endless plains was a very special fashion shoot. With everything from yak riders, hunters and shepherds clad in original folklore costumes – silk dresses from Etro and Peter Pilotto, chains from Hermès, velvet gloves from Giorgio Armani and Gucci Looks were used. And it was a home game for the model in the fashion spread shot in Mongolia: Eny Jaki was born in the capital Ulan-Bator where she still lives today.
