As though inspired by the Asian culture and dramatic arts, the ANEW Magazine Spring-Summer 2014 editorial involves an evocative photoshoot that looks more like a performance piece than a fashion one. From the model's painted face to her melodramatic poses and expressions, the images would entertain many. Of course, for those looking for some fashion inspiration, it chock full of that as well.
The ANEW Magazine Spring-Summer 2014 editorial was shot by photographer Yelena Yemchuk of 2b Management. It stars Japanese model Tao Okamoto, who was clad in Gucci, Missoni, Valentino and more by stylist Ilaria Norsa. Her porcelain white face was created by makeup artist Romi Soleimani while hair stylist Leonardo Manetti worked on updos.
