The Flair Magazine May 2013 editorial is deceptively grayscale. Although there are hints of color here and there, at first the eyes will only perceive the grey skin of the model and the darkly shadowed backdrop. Yet that is not a grey tone, but a metallic sheen. Covered in body paint, model Kristina Salinovic has an unearthly look that is neo-futuristic, as though she were cast as an alien in the original 'Star Trek' television show.
Lensed by photographer Kerry Dean, the Flair Magazine May 2013 editorial it titled 'Love to Love You Babe.' The Croatian beauty was outfitted in minimal designs chosen by stylist Sam Ranger, which help to mitigate the dramatic beauty look courtesy of makeup artist Isamaya French and hair stylist Roky Roppongi.
