The New York-based fashion label KARA and John Yuyi have joined forces for a vibrant editorial that sits at the intersection of art and fashion.
The images focus on KARA's 'Brick Bags' which offer the consumer a timeless and elegant piece that's comprised of fine leather and intricate metal hardware. The new editorial fuses the fashion label's minimal aesthetic with Yuyi's larger-than-life artistic vision, to offer consumers a whimsical and playful visual representation of the brand. The quirky editorial uses the brand's bags to censor the nude models, creating a playful and eye-catching piece of work. In other images, the model is seen walking through a parking lot carrying one of the bags, which has been re-sized to appear larger than her.
