Schon Magazine's 'Dressing for Pleasure' editorial emphasizes theatrical side of drag dress-up. Stylist Brett Bailey worked as the creative director for Schon's Showbiz issue, and has again displayed his knack for brazen spreads in this photo series.
The Dressing for Pleasure title was taken from Bailey's personal life. The dancer has always viewed fashion as a stage upon which one should perform, encouraging him to consistently make bold style statements.
Photographer Elias Tahan encouraged Bailey's unruly disposition. Racy pictures fell from the air as dominatrix masks were carelessly line up. Stylist assistant Todd Pearce also infused the set with his vision via tight body suits, feathers and fish net gloves, all of which were fiercely worn by Bailey.
