The Dazed & Confused 'Age of Aquarius' editorial is like a contemporary dance eternalized in print. Full of abstract movement, flowing fabrics and basic backdrops, the artistic elements are all there and accounted for. Nevertheless, instead of reciting the names of famous contemporary dancers such as Martha Clark and Bill Evans, people will be noting Saint Laurent Paris, Ann Demeulemeester and Dior. That is because it is a fashion photoshoot first and foremost.
Strikingly shot by photographer Pierre Debusschere, the Dazed & Confused 'Age of Aquarius' editorial stars model Yumi Lambert. The brunette beauty was femininely outfitted by stylist Robbie Spencer. The accompanying film better displays the choice of dresses, which swirl around her with every move.
