Alexandra Bogatyrova stars in the 'Mermaid Fantasy' image series that graces the July 2013 issue of Nylon Korea. This siren-inspired beauty story is lensed by visionary photographer Kim Oi Mil who captures the talented model chameleon as she floats in a pool of bright blue water.
Sporting a slew of vibrant wig designs, Alexandra channels a 90s grunge goddess as she pulls off choppy crimson locks as well as Seapunk-worthy violet and blue-hued tresses.
The 'Mermaid Fantasy' Nylon Korea editorial is a modern take on a classic underwater siren aesthetic. Referencing both mythological imagery as well as 90s era grunge undertones, this image series paints a powerful picture of femininity that endorses self-expression while going against the common grain of tradition.
