Contemporary mimes everywhere should take note of the 'Third Kind Possession' photo shoot. A [whimsical series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-rose-sparrow), it depicts an expressive woman wearing what appears to be an updated version of a mime's uniform. Gone are the traditional suspenders and striped shirts. In their place are big black bows and tailored white blazers. Moreover, only a hint of the classic black and white painted face is evident around the eyes.

The Third Kind Possession photo series was shot by photographer Gonzalo Alipaz. The [artistically androgynous looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sujitha-shivajothi) were inspired by the work of transexual writer Miriam Amaya. Model Jade was [monochromatically styled](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25) by Ari Mendes. Her slicked back hair and frosted eyelashes were created by beauty artist Jose Herrera.
