The Playing Fashion March 2012 cover has a devious look to it, due in large part to the makeup. Model Codie Young has been subtly transformed into a mean-looking, modern version of a geisha. The dramatic makeup has given the Australian beauty an Asian look that is subtly accented by the updo and eclectic fashion.
Shot by New York-based fashion photographer Jason Kim, the Playing Fashion March 2012 cover makes quite a statement. The thin, angry penciled-in brows and dark shadows give Young a severe look that immediately reels viewers in while the lacy shirt paired with chunky, layered necklaces hold their attention. Stylist Christopher Campbell had a lot of fun with this cover shoot, adding sporty latex gloves and pasta jewelry.
