The newly launched Pearl Oyster campaign doesn’t opt for soft and dreamy imagery, though; instead photographer Mark Viszlay captured the images with all the vibrance and saturation of a coral reef.

Powering through the galaxy and on to the Perth Fashion Week (SFPFW) runway, Kitty Grace (formerly of now-defunct label Illionaire) showed a legion of fearless, futuristic females in looks that ranged from overtly sexy to unexpectedly understated.
