# Sequined Unibrows 'MIMI C' by Ausra Osipaviciute Blends 80s Glam with Mardi Gras Masks for 'Silves By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2009-12-20 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mimi-c-by-ausra-osipaviciute References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/Gallery/MIMI_C/367140) & [flickr](http://www.flickr.com/photos/aushrine/) Mardi Gras masks don't just have to be worn in New Orleans; in '[MIMI C](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mimi-haircare)' by Ausra Osipaviciute, these [masquerade fashions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/masquerade-mask-1) are given an 80s twist. The shoot is for designer Milda Cergelyte (aka MIMI C) to show off her 'Silvestria' collection. What I love about this fashion shoot is that it juxtaposes dark-hued fashions with a setting that has an explosion of color.
