Tokyo-based fashion editor Yu Tanaka recently joined with stylist Yuji Nakata and model Naoteru to come up with a creative series of images for a Fucking Young! exclusive.
The singular model is spotlighted throughout the images in a dark concrete backdrop, which looks like it's within an underground parking garage. This dreary environment functions as the perfect contrast for the statement apparel that Naoteru boasts in the shots, which range from elaborately embroidered leather jackets and black and white camouflage pants, to lilac-colored fur coats and graphic tees.
The combination of different styles gives the editorial a vintage aesthetic, especially given the blurred look that some of the images have, as well as the muted colors.
