A story about threads

Beauty does lie in the eye of the beholder, but sometimes you find things that are universally stunning and there are no two ways about it. Not the setting, neither the make-up but it’s the clothes that tell a story in this AnOther magazine editorial featuring Melbourne-based model Ajak Deng.

When big names like Dolce & Gabbana, Chanel, YSL, Balmain and Louis Vuitton swamp the pages of a fashion spread, the status instantly hikes to the next level of luxury. Exquisite styling by Cathy Edwards, the eclectic mix of metallic, leather, sheer silks and knits stand out against Deng’s richly pigmented skin. The geometrics of each piece are enunciated with the sculptural headpieces: rope turban, foam hat and knotted tie-ups.

Shitika Anand is a freelance journalist, based in Sydney, who is addicted to coffee, vintage boutiques, bright-glitzy earrings and British stand-up comedy. Her bank account weeps every time she walks out of a shoe shop, but her shoe rack throws a 'welcome home' party for the new member. Her undying love for words is obvious when she narrates her entire life story to a stranger on the train. Which is partly the reason she's resorted to writing. When not blogging, she can be found in a corner of her nearest bookshop, hiding under a monstrous pile of international fashion magazines. You can read more of her work on her personal site, Sweet Dreams in my world.
