The Nightingale Vulture editorial graces the publication's #4 January 2013 issue. Model Hye Seung stars in the monochromatic portrait series where she sports gothic eye makeup and a wardrobe of dark pieces.
Hair stylist Stelios Chondros and makeup artist Thom Walker collaborate to give Hye a dark demeanor while stylist Lune Kuipers dresses her in oversized silhouettes and sheer fabric choices. The model sports voluminous frocks that are paired with subtle metallic accessories in this dark and dramatic fashion story.
Photographer Paul Phung captures the Nightingale Vulture editorial. The artful image series superimposes the photographer's portraits with a scribbled effect that whites out model Hye Seung's face and body parts. This combination makes for a visual concept that is both strange and surreal.
