Dalianah Arekion, Stephanie Rad and others pose in the "Nonsens" beauty story by photographer Armin Morbach. This illusionary editorial plays with one's perception and highlights a series of bold beauty looks that are a nod to the Surrealist art movement.

Gracing the Spring/Summer 2014 issue of TUSH, this image series features avant-garde styling by Kathrin Gerhardy and conceptual makeup looks by Loni Baur. Russian doll inspired costumes, netted face embellishments and bread-constructed helmets are just some of the dynamic accessories that are featured in this visionary fashion feature.

The "Nonsens" beauty story for TUSH defies convention and mixes unconventional fashions with masked makeup looks. These cosmetics are intricately painted on while experimenting with uncommon materials and textures.
