TRIBAL - D MODE MAGAZINE

Doesn't this make you want to go Tribal?

If you saw my last post you'll recognize the image below from this editorial for Argentina based D Mode Magazine shot by Herring & Herring.

Laurean Ossorio did a brilliant job in styling this shoot along with make up artist Bryan Zaragoza & cool artistic locks created by Brian Buenaventura. 

And without the stunning models Mey Bun, Rila Fukushima & Ai-li Wang this would not have been as fierce!

CHEN MAN - VISUAL FANTASY

Photographic genius, Chen Man began her career in 2003 while studying graphic design and photography at the Central Academy of Fine Arts. She had photographed a series of covers for Vision, a Shanghai based fashion magazine while incorporating her strong and unique 3-D style renderings. Her work was far beyond it's time for a Chinese magazine then which made her a star in the fashion world.

SKIN by The Popovy Sisters

This is one of my favorite collections by the Popovy sisters. I love the intricate details in which they bring to life these beautiful African Tribal Women. Their use of materials such as leather, shells, beads, hair and feathers is amazing, don't you think?



It doesn't surprise me at all that these sisters stumbled upon doll making while studying Fashion Design.

What do you think? Aren't they fabulous?
