The unstoppable team of photographer Mariano Vivanco and stylist Nicola Formichetti is back with yet another brilliant cover shoot for the July 2009 issue of Dazed & Confused magazine.

Best described as native Americans gone goth, the shoot features models Kendra Spears, AJ Abualrub and Roy. They are all members of '[Black Crow](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-market)', a gang of stylish rebels in [black fur and feathers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiss-boots).

**Implications** - You'll be amazed at how the classic, Native-American styles were transformed in this spread. The looks are both edgy and rebellious, providing consumers a fresh perspective on [tribal fashions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-scorpion-the-frog). This spread might even serve as inspirational for your future costume for Halloween or at a themed party.
