The Harper's Bazaar May 2012 US edition is now featuring a terminator-themed editorial starring international supermodel Hailey Clauson. In the photoshoot, Clauson's formal haute couture apparel is offset with life-like robotic structures, and is even found clad in a full-piece terminator suit.
This photoshoot was executed by the creative experts at Rankin, expertly relaying electric yellows, greens and metallic shades to viewers. As an ode to the Canadian film director of the Terminator series, this editorial has been entitled 'The World of James Cameron.' The recognition of Cameron is well-deserved here, giving attention and praise where it is due. And while this motif is certainly unlike the majority of high fashion shoots, Clauson has pulled it off with ease.
