Since I announced yesterday my official comeback, I thought it might be time to share something I'm actually proud of. This series is one of my latest works, it was made possible thanks to an amazing team that I have always dreamed of being able to work with: my 2 lovely models Larissa Matheus and Lara Aimée, the artistic mua Kika von Macabre, the talented hairstylist Julia Lion Hair and accessory designer Bakeneko Designs. It finally became a reality with this project!
This series is centered around the amazing accessories designed by "Bakeneko Designs" from Britain. Their work is described as Avant Garde Contemporary Wearable Fetish Art. They call it themselves "Fashion with a twist, Bakeneko Designs presents its unique brand of ugly beauty in handmade bespoke fetish pieces." And that's exactly what this series is about, ugly beauty translated into a fetish fashion shoot.
I wanted to shock the spectator with my work, to make them feel weird, not knowing if they like or dislike it, and ask themselves what beauty really is. Isn't beauty something highly subjective, something that's different in each culture? How would Alien life, if they would exist, see beauty? Maybe beauty is just something we made up; maybe there isn't such a thing as beauty and ugliness.
I decided to clash these 2 things together, to create a new form of beauty (or perhaps ugliness, if that's how you wish to see it).
