Models as Gothic Dolls

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

P. Gage Burke's Crawling, Spike-Ridden Shoot

— August 13, 2009 — Art & Design
P. Gage Burke's 'Doll' photo shoot blends two themes we've seen a lot of recently--models as dolls and a return to Gothic, dark themes. This particular black-and-white shoot features a model wearing a spiked collar and plenty of black. Her notched black lipstick is another recurring style cue for this season.

Implications - Burke's Doll photo series is edgy and enticing. It stretches the boundaries of fashion and photography by portraying less conventional standards of beauty and indicates a wider range of styles for upcoming fashion seasons that follow this boundary-pushing pattern that many designers, artists and publications are adopting.
