Description

This striking fashion editorial image for Sixteen Journal's project A Tribute to Yayoi Kusama features a model wearing a vivid red full-body suit adorned with large, colorful circular polka dots in blue, yellow, and green. The model's face is intricately painted with a matching blue and white patterned makeup design. Set against a dark, moody background with subtle reflective highlights, the subject strikes a dynamic, contorted pose. Joe Lai captured the photography, with fashion styling by Matthew Josephs, hair by Moe Mukai, makeup by Lauren Reynolds, and set design by Lydia Chan.
