Striking Samurai Photoshoots

The Honor Interview Magazine Editorial Marries Femininity and Power

— October 21, 2012 — Pop Culture
The Honor Interview Magazine editorial captures a contemporary samurai aesthetic that is both artful and stunningly stylish. The striking portrait series stars top model Meghan Collison who is captured by photographer Fabien Baron's lens.

Meghan is a vision in structured coats and other sculptural pieces resembling those worn by traditional Japanese fighters. Outfitted by stylist Karl Templer, the model goes fully into character, showing off dynamic and graceful poses that offset her culturally inspired wardrobe.

Sporting a high up-do and an exaggerated brow, Meghan is stoic and statuesque. The model wears flowered kimonos, belted robes and other showstopping pieces that highlight exaggerated collars and sharply pointed sleeves. In the perfect marriage of power and femininity, the model is accessorized with ornate headwear pieces, wedged boots and ninja-inspired masks.
