AnOther Magazine’s spring and summer 2012 issue is hauntingly beautiful. It features fashion model Kinga Rajzak photographed by Lina Scheynius in an elegant play auditorium with beautiful stained glass windows panes in the background.
Scheynius adds a twist in this issue by making one half of the photos color and the other half black and white. Stylist Robbie Spencer has dressed Kinga Rajnak in feminine garments including long sequenced gowns, flowery gauzy dresses, embellished tweed jackets and long pleated skirts. As well, Rajnak is pictured wearing one distinct colour in each photo. We see her dressed all in blue, green, red and a dazzling gold. One of the most intriguing aspects in her outfits are the bandages that are wrapped strangely around her head and neck. This editorial makes great use of colour while creating a ghostly elegant atmosphere.
