Artistically Surreal Editorials

The Pop 'The New York Now' Article Stars Model Liya Kebede

The Pop 'The New York Now' editorial isn't the typically surreal fashion article. It goes further into the realm of experimental art. Through the use of crazy collages, painted embellishments and strange superimpositions, the imagery could easily be displayed in an art gallery. This is due in large part to the fact that the magazine teamed up with artists Justin Lowe and Jonah Freeman.

Appearing in the spring-summer issue of the magazine, the Pop 'The New York Now' editorial stars model Liya Kebede. Imaginatively shot by photographer Francesco Carrozzini with creative direction by China Chow, the Ethiopian beauty showcases a wardrobe exclusively made up of pieces from New York designers. She was styled by Stevie Dance.
