A fantastically bold show of avant-garde expression, the U+Mag Blonde Ambition editorial will satisfy sharp fashion aficionados.

The Brazilian online publication is a burgeoning haven for cutting edge fashion photography. Founded in 2004 by Romeu Silveira, the content of this magazine is stellar as its head is a former art director with experience in pop-art.

Blonde Ambition is an [avant-garde stunner](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hm-x-glenn-martens) with its [studded facial looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-001-artistry-mask). Styled by Jhon Santana, the edgy garments sported by models Gabriela Utterwaal & Vinicius Torres are edgy and sleek. The [monochromatic finish](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25) of the piece was highly contrasted and was expertly captured by photographer Rafael Pavarotti. This piece is an exemplary show of fashionably punk that is reminiscent of the original queen of pop, Madonna. With its references and stunning visuals, this editorial pushes U+Mag to the forefront of the online fashion editorial world.
