The January issue of Vogue Russia features a striking editorial entitled 'Show of Masks' by photographer Angelo Pennetta.
Pennetta creatively captures model Alana Zimmer in an assortment of masks, including an illusionary one that he creates via the manipulation of light.
Masks are currently making a big splash in fashion editorials and shows, so maybe you should get your Halloween Zorro mask out the next time you are hitting a party.
Implications - After all, who says that Halloween is a holiday that can only come once a year? As far as I'm concerned, this 'Show of Masks' for Vogue Russia makes dressing up in masked fashions look super cool and ultimately high-fashion. Leave it up to Russia to be on the cutting-edge of accessories.
