The Flare 'Big Japanese Wave' editorial is yet another example of Eastern fashion getting a futuristic treatment. In good company with Marie Claire Italia's March 2013 issue, Stylist Magazine's 'East Side Story' editorial and BMM Magazine's Asian-inspired photoshoot, it shows that stylists and designers are pushing exotic looks for the upcoming spring and summer seasons.
Next LA model Ciara poses in front of Chris Nicholls lens in the Flare 'Big Japanese Wave' editorial. Set to appear in the March 2013 issue of the Canadian publication, the photoshoot was styled by fashion editor Elizabeth Cabral, who pulled pieces from such labels as Donna Karan, The Row, Prada and Altuzarra. Hairstylist Enzo Angileri and makeup artist Melanie Inglessis finished the elegant looks.
