Over the years, CR Fashion Book has established a reputation for big things — like that knockout Rihanna editorial, as seen in Sept. 2016’s Issue 9. “The need to deliver impact, a quality finish and punchy imagery is exactly the sort of challenge we enjoy.” adds Greig. This latest issue, which utilises four covers and includes collaborations with Celine Dion and Kim Kardashian, has demanded extreme attention to detail to achieve the desired impact.
