Mikey Asanin, a talented photographer who's based in New York, featured model Dane Bell as his muse in a highly unique editorial that draws on a David Bowie inspiration -- made clear by his stylistic use of colors and the poses in the portraits.
Playing with light, the model is shown in different types of exposure throughout the photo shoot -- with some marked entirely by shadows and others using the dark forms to complement the vibrant use of color portrayed.
Part of an exclusive for 'F*cking Young! Online,' the editorial features statement clothing from designers and brands like Alexander Wang, Saint Laurent, Nicopanda, Vetements and Comme des Garçons. By making use of a liberated and vibrantly styled muse, Mikey Asanin carries the David Bowie inspiration throughout in a way that's both original and commemorative.
