Couture Clown Editorials

F****** Young! Online's Lucha Libre Story Embraces Sculptural Fashion

Axel Swan Maldini and Rasmus Nielsen Fisker don sculptural fashion staples in 'Lucha Libre', an editorial exclusive for F****** Young! Online. The image series pays homage to the Mexican wrestling sport while simultaneously referencing a clown-like aesthetic.

In the editorial, models Axel and Rasmus don flamboyant Lucha Libre masks and pull off painted face cosmetics. Wardrobe styling for this sculptural fashion story is courtesy of designer Barbara Sanchez Kane whose avant-garde and colorful pieces are featured in the shoot.

'Lucha Libre' is captured by photographer Szilveszter Makó and celebrates the fashion industry's recent shift toward artistic and whimsical styles. While the last few seasons have focused on minimalism, the industry is once again embracing sculptural and elaborate clothing and theatrical cosmetic applications.
