Ivan Genasi's 'Portrait of a Lady' image series is captured for the April 2016 issue of Design Scene Magazine. The editorial features model Linda Y who dons a vibrant and feminine wardrobe and beauty looks that are an homage to the 90s grunge movement.
Made famous by bands like Hole and Nirvana, grunge music is known for its carefree aesthetic, one that Courtney Love made more feminine with her iconic beauty aesthetic. The singer is known for mixing feminine clothes with vivid eye makeup and lipstick hues. Her messy hair and smokey eye are mimicked by HM Battaglia's hair and makeup artists Faik Zekai and Barbara Ciccognani.
Styling for this Ivan Genasi editorial is courtesy of Zuzanna Borowska who handpicks its vibrant wardrobe -- featuring looks from labels like Tara Jarmon, Augustin Teboul and Mauro Grifoni among other names.
