Model Sara Cummings stars in the "Play Ground" editorial for Aussie publication Oyster magazine. Photographer Aris Jerome captures the model as she loiters around a suburban neighbourhood and walks around a colorful carnival setting.

Sara channels members of today's youthful generations and appears lost and in thought as she sits curb-side or under a bridge. The model sports a shaved pixie cut by the editorial's hair stylist Palma Wright who also doubles as the story's resident makeup artist and wardrobe stylist.

Palma dresses the model in printed, graphic tees, oversized shorts and heavy chain accessories that are a nod to 90s styling. The edgy "Play Ground" editorial is a fresh take on nostalgia and is a nod to pop icon Miley Cyrus' recent transformation.

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- **Youth Culture Photography:** There is a growing trend for capturing the essence of today's youth through rebellious and thought-provoking photography.
