This new editorial in Tush magazine, entitled 'Calligraphique,' follows in the footsteps of Jean Paul Gaultier's recent Haute Couture Spring 2009 Collection by taking inspiration from the art of calligraphy.
The editorial, which was photographed by Mikael Schulz, features models Åsa E. and Hanna V. with artistically-painted calligraphy on their faces by makeup artist Viktoria Sörensdotter, who also did their hair.
