Aurora Eysan Sulejmani starts in 'State Of [Clay](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heath-ceramics),' L'Official Singapore's conceptual beauty story. The model poses in a set of [clay-covered portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/texttoclay) that are captured by photographer Giuseppe Vitariello's lens.

Resembling a living statue, Aurora poses in monochromatic and starkly hued images that are lensed in a studio setting. 'State of Clay' graces the September 2015 issue of L’Officiel Singapore and features [captivating beauty looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreams-express) by hair stylist Alessandro d’Onofrio and makeup artist Sara De Virgilio.

This editorial's minimal styling is limited to a draped, white tunic -- a garment that is reminiscent of a traditional Greek toga. The piece is handpicked by wardrobe stylist Joie Goh who embraces this story's conceptual theme while complementing its vivid beauty applications.
