Ray of Inspirology: Surreal Reveal by Richard Burbridge

This accessories editorial features in New York Times T Style, stars Sara Blomqvist by photographer Richard Burbridge and Chanel global director of makeup, Peter Philips, may look simple, yet it lies a strong message.  Philips did not use foundation on the model's skin, but stressed on the lipsticks, eyeliner, and nail polish to suggest the importance of accessories in fashion.  The iconic, formal poses were referencing old fashion photography for classic style.  While it was an intention to hide the model's eyes, it signified makeup is masking women's faces, hiding what they do not want to show.

This editorial looked fun to me at the first sight, however I really appreciate the thought behind the whole shoot and the message it carries after I knew more about it.
