Manuela Frey and Daga Ziober star as lovers in the 'Ink Flowed' editorial for Interview Magazine Russia's July/August 2014 issue.
The two seductively intertwine their bodies together; so much so, that it's hard to tell where Frey's long limbs end and Ziober's begin. The sapphic pair are ornamented with pretty jewelry and generous helpings of ink, in shades of deep purple shimmering hold, streaked across their skin. The look is completed with metallic eye makeup, helping to accentuate the girl's dark, smoldering gazes.
The editorial came together with the help of fashion editor Akari Endo-Gaut, hair stylist Joey George and makeup artist Kristi Matamoros. The sultry, metallic shoot was lensed by the talented photographer Christian Ferretti.
