Model Tess Hellfeuer sports a collection of DIY-inspired accessories in No Tofu's latest exclusive by photographer Ben Lamberty.

Titled 'Last Fad,' the editorial embodies a playful theme and boasts wardrobe picks by stylist Anna Katsanis at Atelier Management. Hair and makeup for the fashion story are courtesy of Jerome Cultrera and Stephanie Willmann who opt for messy, short hair and expressive cosmetics. Whether highlighting sticker appliques or war paint-themed cosmetics, this editorial's makeup is a raw translation of youth, keeping its theme lighthearted and daring.

Gracing No Tofu's Spring/Summer 2016 issue, this editorial celebrates an evolving Millennial maker culture and illustrates how DIY-inspired accessories are slowly becoming more popular among both daring and traditional fashion fans.
