For the September 2014 issue of popular fashion magazine Interview, talented photographer Craig McDean shot top models Lexi Boling and Julia Nobis in a striking pop star-inspired editorial. The images capture the avant-garde side to fame and fortune through feathery jackets, neon-colored pants and bold eyeshadow looks.
The editorial might remind many of the classic 80s pop star David Bowie during his Ziggy Stardust faze. The juxtaposition of bright colors, outlandish makeup looks and shiny skintight costumes were staples of the electronic pop era. The photoshoot features hip pieces such as red feather coats, shiny metallic platform boots and animal print. Both Boling and Nobis rocked heavy eye looks filled with smokey red pigments, shiny glitter and heavy black eyeliner.
