The [Morgan Slade](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/supersport) 'Savage Justice' [art installation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-looks) is a series of digitally-manipulated photos that features [bikini-clad models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adriana-degreas-x-sabine-getty) with their faces covered by hair, bandanas, helmets and dog faces.

The Morgan Slade 'Savage Justice' series got a big help from fashion designer Betsey Johnson, whose clothing was worn by the mysterious models. The photos were also taken at Johnson's flagship store in Los Angeles.

**Implications** - With a vintage application to give a washed-out look, the Morgan Slade 'Savage Justice' project has managed to give a retro-chic style to the photos. With typography at the top, the digital photos have conveyed a look that seems to be inspired by traditional propaganda.
