Appropriately titled 'The Doll House,' the Dazed & Confused Korea January 2014 editorial has a lifeless quality that has nothing to do with the fashion on hand. Instead, models Liu Xu, Ayshe Tiegenbrunner and Ellen Pinaffi adopt the dead eyes of a doll, which makes for both a creepy and eccentric photoshoot that nevertheless does not skimp on style.
The Dazed & Confused Korea January 2014 editorial might be fittingly feminine, yet there is a cold, contemporary twist that will appeal to women who were never into Barbies all that much as children. Shot by photographer Astrid Sterner with art direction by Danielle Von, the high stocking, floral prints and button-up shirts were styled by Melaney Oldenhof. The looks were perfected by hairstylist Thanos Samaras and makeup artist Deanna Melluso.
