Carlotta Kohl: By Myself
Carlotta Kohl lives in New York and is a painter, sculptor and photographer, but says she works as a supermodel to ‘pay her bills’. Along with her fellow artists, this gorgeous blonde is part of a new breed of free-spirited 21st century feminists. Closely linked to social media and pop culture, her work is all about sexual liberation and celebrating one’s body. For L’Officiel, Carlotta sports some jewellery in a series of selfportraits on the institution of marriage, once considered “tacky” by many feminists. Let’s look at her humorous and feminist perspective.
