The Valerija Kelava Zoo Magazine editorial might be centered around a tough chic persona, but the looks are so androgynous, no one would be at fault for assuming that the model was a man. To be clear, Valerija Kelva is a woman, even though the retro rocker hairstyle, barely there makeup and ambiguous clothing suggests otherwise.
Shot by photographer Dancian, the Valerija Kelava Zoo Magazine editorial is as simple and severe as the emotions portrayed throughout. The fashion, which was styled by Jo Barker, makes up for the minimalist photo shoot. The Slovenian beauty is outfitted in structural styles with a rebellious and even futuristic edge. The eclectic wardrobe consists of designs from labels like Mugler, Jil Sander and Maison Martin Margiela.
