" A BALLETIC PERFORMANCE…"

PHOTOGRAPHED BY BEN TOMS

STYLED BY KATIE SHILLINGFORD

MAKEUP BY ALEX BOX

HAIR BY GARETH VAN CUYLENBURG

MODEL: RANYA MORDANOVA

Katie Shillingford is one of my all time favourite stylists, she is everything I hope to be as a stylist myself and I hope one day I could work for her,

In this recent editorial from Dazed and Confused I love how she has used (as it says) Springs raw edges and powdery textures, I think the way the colour has been used is exquisite, I feel a real Edward Scissorhands vibe as if Ranya was the child between Edward and Kim.

My favourite details of the shoot are mainly the layering and mixes of textures like the leather and badages , loose knit from Gareth Pugh, sheer pink pieces paired with the amazing Burberry trousers and the tiny hint of a latex t-shirt by Topshop Unique with a Gaultier trench,a rose Lanvin dress and paper Margiela trousers.

 A perfect Burton-esque creepy romance story. I love it.
