The 'Strange Fruit' editorial features Anton Minenkov as its muse, as well as a number of colorful live serpents.
The resulting images are modern and eye-catching, with photographer Smagina Margarita capturing the model against a backdrop that includes floral floors and walls, and others that show him against vibrant solid settings. In the images that features the snakes, Anton Minenkov is shown with them wrapped around his neck and shoulders like a boa, or with the creatures slithering over his back and coiling around his feet.
Other images showcase the model in dark moody lighting, helping to highlight some of the more brightly patterned pieces -- one standout being a vintage sweater from an unlisted designer. More apparel that's featured in the Strange Fruit editorial for MMSene magazine comes from names like Maxim Sokolov, Giorgio Armani and Saint Laurent.
