Model Eugenia Mandzhieva is the face behind the cover and editorial pages of the Summer 2009 issue #8 of Soon Magazine.
I have personally never heard of this publication but I really like these photos. I think the styling is superb, and the golden, futuristic makeup is outstanding. I also enjoy the close up shots that wrest the emphasis away from the clothes.
Implications - The models within the magazine sport golden flecks upon their faces and have very interesting hair styles. Hair colors such as gray are featured and styles range from braided buns with sticks poking out to soft, Afro-looking poofs. The featured styles may be too daring for some, but the images are wonderful to look at.
