The fashion featured in the Culture ‘Miss Match’ editorial might be full of color and embellishments, but nothing can rival the unique beauty looks present in each image. It is hard to tell whether the abstract lines covering model Cece of Wilhelmina Models has been created with makeup or some kind of thread. Whatever the case may be, they adorn her face like Picasso brushstrokes.
Lensed by New York City-based photographer Yulia Gorbachenko, the Culture ‘Miss Match’ editorial also has a rag doll appeal. From the red hair and nutcracker hat to the eclectic fashion that is rife with floral patterns and ornate sequins, the looks could easily grace a woman or a girly plush toy.
