The Fashion Magazine 'Express Yourself' editorial encourages women to use fashion as another outlet to make a statement to the world. It reads, "Whether it's a wordy print, an arty pattern or an accessory that will get them talking, make a heartfelt statement this spring." Clad in bold embellishments, graphic tees and vibrant hues, that is exactly what Tanzanian model Herieth Paul is doing.
Shot in studio against a white backdrop by photographer Gabor Jurina, the Fashion Magazine 'Express Yourself' editorial is full of fierce poses that denote a confidence that such a style can breed. The dark beauty was outfitted in pieces from such labels as Louis Vuitton, Antonio Marras and Vivienne Westwood by fashion director George Antonopoulos. She is joined by the nearly naked Carlton, who makes the dominance more palpable.
