Ice Cream-Inspired Photoshoots

Fashion Melt by Toufic Araman is Stylishly Surreal

— June 27, 2013 — Fashion
Utterly surreal, the photo series titled Fashion Melt by Toufic Araman, a photographer based between Dubai, Beirut and Cairo, is inspired by a summer treat even though the glamorous looks may seem a little more suited for fall. Nevertheless, the billowed skirts and frothy layers add to the effect. Essentially, the portraits interpret the look of melted ice cream.

Thus, the ice cream cone present in each photo of Fashion Melt by Toufic Araman serves a greater purpose than simply being a strange and whimsical accessory. It ads contexts to model Alina's outstretched poses. Although humorous and abstract, the looks are still incredibly stylish. This is credited entirely to stylist Kegham Djeghalian. The playful set was put together by Dany Saneh.
