It is always great to see more of Lazaro's work and all thanks to American Vogue.  Enjoy!<br /><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRCZtl_dKMcbzac3ay2Uifl-qks0dOQ8_9qu_3P-DbzX9eJUbMH3gLozAss6GqauX0k6vBIFTy53Ai3AihThr8rAh5ELeMzGDan50bLiEEpMJkOIgg3ZJ_USfMbbpc01nVo5akboREs2DI/s1600/lazaro+rosa+violan+panels.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRCZtl_dKMcbzac3ay2Uifl-qks0dOQ8_9qu_3P-DbzX9eJUbMH3gLozAss6GqauX0k6vBIFTy53Ai3AihThr8rAh5ELeMzGDan50bLiEEpMJkOIgg3ZJ_USfMbbpc01nVo5akboREs2DI/s1600/lazaro+rosa+violan+panels.jpg" width="462" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">Here throw the door we can see the Chinese panels Rosa-Violan had in another area of his studio. </span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXju4zOFkfjGDMoAQmioaRqeDH4wr6Mc8gZx_CUpjfxFwdPaz2E9AqwOzfOWCULkDe2VY-vmMY3KlwTbHNn-8g3RwwfOQ7vIKU2CFO6Lq5ya8vaya2MJEsR6ozuCN1uhT3BkV57un1Rnqd/s1600/vogue+editorial+at+lazaro+rosa+violan+studio.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXju4zOFkfjGDMoAQmioaRqeDH4wr6Mc8gZx_CUpjfxFwdPaz2E9AqwOzfOWCULkDe2VY-vmMY3KlwTbHNn-8g3RwwfOQ7vIKU2CFO6Lq5ya8vaya2MJEsR6ozuCN1uhT3BkV57un1Rnqd/s1600/vogue+editorial+at+lazaro+rosa+violan+studio.jpg" width="490" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihNdtHqZYGwqvhrFOKvoJHBRr6-HkB8LQIx58XPO3lnwirfMO0X9pKp4LqoaTWIH0XBb6iuWjybhKNoVttBIAhp5ooxrYRHrOcLQNeZhC9BTYiooppkZi-kyuSQDOprYGWH0BMUTu2tjSB/s1600/editorial+of+vogue+magazine+at+larazo+rosa+violan.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihNdtHqZYGwqvhrFOKvoJHBRr6-HkB8LQIx58XPO3lnwirfMO0X9pKp4LqoaTWIH0XBb6iuWjybhKNoVttBIAhp5ooxrYRHrOcLQNeZhC9BTYiooppkZi-kyuSQDOprYGWH0BMUTu2tjSB/s1600/editorial+of+vogue+magazine+at+larazo+rosa+violan.jpg" width="490" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu4fE43EplsExBENx0yHrV3uBLyFE1b8-tYd735T2OJKsmOWlUZy9nHiFExT6EOTqvYWPUlmxVTqcmuoDK4wGXbxqzFZZYmM93kVMS4E6x0ECj2WRQ6Zy5M8CBGuPGiQbPcLO3mX8o7BjU/s1600/lazaro+rosa+violan+vogue+editorial.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="362" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu4fE43EplsExBENx0yHrV3uBLyFE1b8-tYd735T2OJKsmOWlUZy9nHiFExT6EOTqvYWPUlmxVTqcmuoDK4wGXbxqzFZZYmM93kVMS4E6x0ECj2WRQ6Zy5M8CBGuPGiQbPcLO3mX8o7BjU/s1600/lazaro+rosa+violan+vogue+editorial.jpg" width="500" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrXTEV7bNrw_P8X5djyPdfM9Tnsg9UsRufS9bOW0pmpKH9uRS0xfVvkSzn5MdzjGMV0AuHPKBltsASbrJQhTNUmjG4wZY_ztOWIMkkeIoOOV8leyY9aELJFonW7_K8W7oK-BXAu3TfmCi0/s1600/LAZARO-ROSA-VIOLAN-apartment-studio-barcelona-40.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="660" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrXTEV7bNrw_P8X5djyPdfM9Tnsg9UsRufS9bOW0pmpKH9uRS0xfVvkSzn5MdzjGMV0AuHPKBltsASbrJQhTNUmjG4wZY_ztOWIMkkeIoOOV8leyY9aELJFonW7_K8W7oK-BXAu3TfmCi0/s1600/LAZARO-ROSA-VIOLAN-apartment-studio-barcelona-40.jpg" width="490" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;">Model Sasha Pivovarova, singer-songwriter James Blake & editorial photographs by Mario Testino for American Vogue.</div></div>
