Jeremy Scott's 'Sour Cherries' editorial for Schon Magazine features Raja, one of the now famous winners of RuPaul's drag race show. The makeup artist was done up with glamorous jewelry and apparel, making the star instantly pop out amid graffiti and slabs of concrete.
Stylist Blaise Estrada put together glistening dresses, spiked shirts and dainty frilly skirts for Raja. Pieces taken from the lines of Sherri Hill, Jac Langheim and Brian Grimotes matched the icon's fierce personality, no small feat given his on-screen performances.
Highlighter pink Christian Louboutin heels allowed Raja to strut along the gritty New York set with panache. And while he is a beauty product expert himself, cosmetic specialist Sutan Amrull did an excellent job with excessive cheek blush and raised eyebrows.
