The 'Deep In The Valley' June 2012 Figaro Japan editorial taken by photographer Camille Vivier hones in on the exotic beauty of Dutch supermodel Lekeliene Stange. Stange's deep redhead tresses are offset here with a series of bright colors and piercing patterns, all of which color block one another.
The fashion world's proclivity towards color blocking has yet to fade away. Unusual mixtures of bright hues has become almost commonplace, marking the focus of couture brands and marketing campaigns. Stylist Elisa Nalin has opted for this approach in the Deep In The Valley photoshoot, only with an atypical focus upon cosmetics.
While most continue to pair various shades together via eclectic ensembles, Nalin has furthered this by contrasting Stange's fiery red hair with light blue eye shadows, effectively incorporating the makeup realm into the color blocking movement.
