Primping Rapstress Editorials

The Azealia Banks Dossier Journal Photoshoot is Both Done and Undone

The Azealia Banks Dossier Journal editorial centers around the 20-year-old rapper and songstress getting stage-ready. Captured in the primping phase, the New York native musical artist is nonetheless gorgeous in front of the camera. It helps that despite her hair being in rollers, she has full glamorous makeup on. In fact, the two together gives the shoot a fun retro feel that is just shy of pin-up.

Lensed by New York-based photographer and visual artist Michael Flores, the Azealia Banks Dossier Journal editorial appears in the summer and spring issue of the magazine. Styled by Moses Moreno, the dark-haired beauty is clad in modest lingerie, pearl necklaces and denim shirts. Make up artist Keiko Takagi and hairstylist Lacy Redway perfect the looks.
