Severe cat eyes, bold red lips and a choice of all-black ensembles that only works in accenting her mysterious ways. Add a provocative attitude that lures you straight in and what you get is the image that Aaron Kinney envisioned for Ruby, a portrait shaped by separate stories, separate backgrounds and a complex thread of emotions. With nine lives to live and a taste for danger, she makes for a hot editorial.
Built upon the bold and unconventional tone set by creative director Rubywantsdiamonds, the photo shoot sends across a touch of eccentricity, alongside vivid sex-appeal undertones highlighted by the sheer black fabrics, sleek cut-outs and mesh panels selected by stylist Christopher Pearson. The direction becomes clearer as soon as nudity in art becomes of focus.
The intimacy of the moment is accented by the contrasting make-up envisioned by Sunny Valentine and the feminine, yet rebellious hair-style created by Shelby Samaria.
