The Doingbird Magazine Half Of A Yellow Sun editorial makes use of a grungy, urbanite look via model Julia Nobis. Nobis is found sporting a brave hairstyle here with [blue, pink and yellow streaks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vowels-1), displaying the publications preference for atypical styling.

Naomi Smith oversaw the implementation of this aggressive look. The bursts of color were matched here with a series of [menswear apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-fw25) as she dressed Nobis head to toe in high rise collars, [black blazers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25) and neck ties. Photographer Max Doyle captured this bold assortment of tresses and apparel. The light peach and red tints meshed well with the vibrant themes, tying the many elements together in the shots of Nobis' straight poker face.
