We published a story about Belgian fashion artist<br />
<strong>Jarno</strong> <strong>Kettunen</strong> <strong>in</strong> Issue 4 of Black Magaz<strong>in</strong>e with the<br />
belief that <strong>Jarno</strong>’s conceptualised backstage pa<strong>in</strong>t<strong>in</strong>gs<br />
of couture <strong>and</strong> top level European fashion shows <strong>and</strong><br />
collections would soon see the artist reap<strong>in</strong>g accolades <strong>and</strong><br />
rewards for his talent. He had orig<strong>in</strong>ally approached<br />
us with an idea to run 6 pages of illustrations he would<br />
make backstage at Chanel...<br />
