Creepy doesn’t even begin to describe this Vogue Japan February 2014 editorial. Photographer Paolo Roversi shot this haunted spread with an appropriately disturbing background. A dark concrete wall behind the subject is decaying and looks as though it has scratch marks on it. Model Maja Salamon is perfectly odd-looking for this editorial. Even though she is made to look bald, she still looks creepily beautiful with her black lipstick and pointing out ears.
The fashion in this Vogue Japan February 2014 photo shoot is definitely different than most. Not only are very few designer clothes and no accessories being worn, but the silhouette of the garments isn’t very typical. Instead of trying to make the model as skinny as possibly, the odd attire puffs out and looks bulky.
