The 'MANGA' ELLE Vietnam editorial graces the publication's October 2013 issue. Starring platinum-haired model Soo Joo, this holographic image series is captured by photographer Yulia Gorbachenko's lens.

Matched with her whimsical wardrobe, the model's makeup, courtesy of beauty artist Anastasia Durasova features bleached brow looks, boldly colored lips and metallic eye-shadow applications while her locks by hair stylist Elsa boast an array of rainbow-hued streaks.
