the new landscape

More often I notice models of Asian descent starring & featuring in top fashion editorials, designer catwalk shows & even Victoria's Secret, which I think is fantastic in itself - the increasing diversity - but also well-deserved because these top girls are absolutely divine. I'm talking naturally sculptured cheekbones, mesmerising gazes and long, lean elegant limbs that can contort into any character.

I love the 3 black and white shots shown for the shapes & shadows in the body and the display of each structured piece. With those glasses and styling they have a distinct Yoko-esque feel. But the 3 coloured shots are also beautiful for the stripped-back colour, set & props, and body language. Modern, edgy and oriental.
