Yumi Lambert dons conceptual fashions in 'Junya Watanabe', an editorial that is captured for the pages of 10 Magazine. The image series is lensed by photographer Richard Burbridge and features wardrobe styling by Sophia Neophitou.

In addition to its sculptural fashions and accessory pieces, this editorial's winning elements are its cosmetics. Drawing inspiration from [sci-fi imagery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set), the shoot's makeup looks are the opposite of expected.

Top model Yumi Lambert wears a wardrobe of Junya Watanabe staples in this series and transforms into a muse for the wearable art fashion label. This series graces 10 Magazine‘s Spring/Summer 2015 issue and features [artful beauty looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign) that almost rival its [avant-garde fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hm-x-glenn-martens) picks.
