The future of print magazine’s is unknown, but Australia’s Oyster Magazine’s 85th Issue has seemed to have risen from its grave. Tagged with the cover line ‘[Print is Dead](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twentynine-zine),’ it seems that this mag is kicking and screaming its way back onto the scene.

The [rebel-inspired shoot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren) features Australian wild child and model Tallulah Morton looking casual in [thrown together looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asos-inspired-by) and greasy green streaks through her hair. Eclectically styled by Imogene Barron, it seems Oyster Magazine knows how to make a comeback.
