Ben Duarte’s 'Circus Life' fashion editorial images are slightly on the creepy side but rock the three ring theme well. The models in mannequin-like poses and edgy make-up are fitted out in black, white and red outfits.
Cut-out swimsuits, pop-art print tunics and burlesque-styled bodysuits worn with lace leggings are all hot fashions of the moment. Shot in front of a red and white ‘Big Top’ backdrop, the girls show attitude while positioned on circus podiums on a straw floor.
I love the black clown-inspired eye make-up and the over-accentuated Kewpie doll lips.
