When everything is “just one big mess,” as photographer Erika Kamano puts it, why not throw out the rulebook and push the limits of your creative expression. Kamano has teamed up with model and muse Lara McGrath and make-up artist David Gillers on a new shoot that explores the idea of make-up and mess. Taking inspiration from an old Steven Meisel story for Vogue Italia called 'Haute Mess’, the team played with bold, contrasting colours, and distorted proportions. As Kamano says, isolation has been a time for everyone to “rethink who they are and how they want to be perceived.” Lara McGrath, make-up David GillersPhotography Erika KamanoLara McGrath, make-up David GillersPhotography Erika KamanoLara McGrath, make-up David GillersPhotography Erika KamanoLara McGrath, make-up David GillersPhotography Erika KamanoLara McGrath, make-up David GillersPhotography Erika KamanoTrendingNike celebrates the culture of U.S. soccerAs the world’s biggest soccer moment approaches, Nike’s new Express Collection celebrates U.S. Soccer while continuing its legacy of investing in the culture of the gameFashionFilm & TV7 sex worker-approved films about sex work PumaFashionSalehe Bembury’s Puma collection is a love letter to the football communityLife & CultureGen Z’s new drug of choice?
