Quoting lyrics from the Rolling Stones classic, "Paint it Black", Clash Magazine's body paint editorial is entitled "No Colours Anymore, I Want Them To Turn Black". The fashion story is captured by photographer Jan Lehner's lens and features wardrobe styling by Harry Lambert.
Harry dresses the photoshoot's star Kevin Carlbom in a range of vanguard wardrobe staples that are artful in their aesthetic. Whether shining a light on over-sized portrait tops to contemporary samurai skirts, this conceptual image series is the opposite to traditional.
In addition to its striking wardrobe, this editorial features hair styling by Yumi Nakada-Dingle and a range of artful cosmetic applications. The body paint designs are courtesy of make-up artist Jenny Coombs who plays with color and smudged textures in the shoot.
