"Queen of the Snow"



Vogue Korea January 2012

"Queen of the Snow"

An absolutely STUNNING shoot by Hong Jyan Huan, clearly very heavily inspired by Inuits 


The Make-up isn't over-the-top, it has a very frost bitten, sunburnt look to it, as though their skin has been exposed to the elements. 


"Arctic Survivor"

The desolate land tells a story
A ragged rhapsody of post-disaster winter
Through the haze she emerges
Harsh winds Berate her
She is an Arctic survivor.

A film for Jacquelyn Wellington's 2010 graduate collection

I really enjoy the white eyelashes and white on the eyelids, it's a very polished imitation of frosty eyelashes.

I also came across this breath-taking editorial: 

"Inverno

featured in Flair Magazine by Jean-François Campos:


Her hair is so wild, it looks like the fur she is wearing. Her eyebrows could also be strands of hair/fur or feathers, I think it is very interesting. In the last image her lips almost look chapped and frost bitten.
