Extravagant Cyborg Editorials

Glassbook Magazine's Avante Garde Story Visually Translates the Term

Extravagant fashions and architectural background elements shine in Glassbook Magazine's "Avante Garde" editorial. The futuristic fashion story is captured by photographer Sandra Schmidbaur's lens and is outfitted by wardrobe stylist and fashion designer Anna Kostina.

Embracing a bold, sci-fi inspiration, Anna's dresses are the epitome of modern opulence and are reminiscent of those worn by Star Wars fashion icon Padmé Amidala. Queen Amidala's character was played by Natalie Portman in the film franchise and is known for her expressive and ultra-glamorous style sense.

Make-up and hair styling for this edgy exclusive is courtesy of Lisa Kram who transforms her muse, model Inga Wagner with bleached brows, colorful eyeshadow applications and platinum tresses. This vanguard story is captured on location at Grube Messel, Besucherzentrum and Frau Dr. Frey.
