Cornrows may have been a popular hairstyle for women back in the late 90s and early 2000s, but it looks like the Tush Magazine 'Blink Blink' editorial wants to bring it into the current decade. Instead of smooth, tight braids, however, this photoshoot concentrates on a looser, frizzier interpretation that complements the grunge fashion that is also making a comeback. Fashion Gone Rogue describes the Helge Branscheidt-styled hair as a modern twist on the "urban ballerina" look.

The Tush Magazine Blink Blink editorial was lensed by Markus Jans, a photographer based in Berlin, Germany, for its summer issue. It stars blue-eyed model Josephine Skriver. The Danish beauty was styled by fashion editor Wiebke Bredehorst in delicate knits that reveal a lot of skin. The looks were finished by makeup artist Loni Baur.
