Murderous Fashion Editorials

Fantasticsmag Makes ‘Playing Dead' Look Beautiful

Model Ilona looks literally drop dead gorgeous in a new editorial in Fantasticsmag.

‘Playing Dead’ shows that looking good can be murderous with photography by Kristina Wilson that captures Ilona drowning in a pool of blood, rising from a taped off crime scene that pinpoints her death area, and pretending to blow her own head.

Ilona does all of that in fashion pieces to die for by the likes of Fendi, Jeremy Scott and David Yurman.
