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!

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.
