The Factory Girls editorial spread in the April issue of BlackBook magazine features girls getting down and dirty.
Shot by Hunter & Gatti, Factory Girls is definitely a different take on an editorial found in a fashion magazine. Unlike the usual fashion shoots that are featured, Factory Girls will make you reevaluate what constitutes beauty. Instead of glamorous and beautiful models dressed in couture, the editorial gives us models with messy, unkempt hair, faces smeared with dirt, and dressed in overalls and ripped work clothes.
With the gritty and raw elements, the Factory Girls shoot brings us back to beauty without all of the fluff. Even though the girls could obviously use a shower (or two), their beauty still shines through despite it all. Who knew dirty could look so good?
