This fabulous and flashy Elle Japan March 2014 fashion shoot isn't afraid to face off.
Photographer Takaki Kumada snaps up this style spread. Model Marina Nery looks almost doll-like with her hair styled to be short, curly and full of body. A large swath of blue eye shadow is drawn on her lids and her lips are painted a bright candy pink.
All ensembles in this Elle Japan March 2014 editorial are from Prada's most recent Spring/Summer collection. The line was a big hit with editorials because of its bright colors and interesting pieces. One of the most memorable aspects of the collection was the faces on the garments and accessories. Some of the faces are more abstract, and others look like they were copied from painted portraits. Other interesting aspects are the multicolored sequins, bra outlines and sporty knee-high leg warmers.
