Mariacarla Boscono makes her stage debut for the 'Act One' editorial in Dazed Magazine's SS 2014 issue. If we're to believe Shakespeare, "All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players." That may or may not be true, but either way, Boscono is killing her part.
Fashion editor Panos Yiapanis brought the drama, dressing Boscono in a series of theatrical looks fit for a Shakespearean stage. This means layers of ruffled plaid, tons of sequins and tweed-infused tights. Makeup artist Lynsey Alexander used pale face makeup and a red lip to add to the sensational, breath-taking stage effect. Finally, hair stylist Syd Hayes styled Boscono's hair into an unkempt mane going in many different directions.
Photographer Willy Vanderperre captured the star-in-the-making for Dazed Digital SS 2014.
