Face-Painted Couture Portraits

This ICARIUS Fashion Feature Spotlights New Looks from Gucci

Photographer Emilio Tini's latest project is an ICARIUS fashion editorial which spotlights a series of new looks from Gucci. The image series is styled by Icarius De Menezes who collaborates with makeup artist Anna Maria Negri to bring its whimsical visual aesthetic to life. The result is a collection of Gucci wardrobe picks which are paired with fun headpieces, and face paint which is artfully applied.

Emilio Tini photographs models Dylan Fender, Maria Borges, and Djavan Mandoula who pose alongside co-stars Laurie Harding, and Oskar Kindelan. The models each don outfits that embody an effortlessly cool air. Some standouts include painted denim jackets that are logo-adorned, along with striped knits and tracksuit separates.

This editorial's gender-fluid beauty looks are artful and whimsical, illustrating the power of makeup as a transformational tool in fashion.
