Could the color palette of an outfit change following the
wearer's emotions? The intriguing concept came to inspire
Lithuanian-born young designer Oksana Anilionyte who

by the modern world and their feelings yet her imagination
went wild noticing that Antonioni pictured a woman's color
palette changing according to her own feelings.

I really dig the images taken by famed fashion editorials
photographer Nhu Xuan Hua for DEW magazine's #10
Art Issue called 'The Imprinted Figure' featuring Anilionyte's
outfits. The photographer teamed up with fellow make up
and hair artist Pace Chen aka Pace by Pace(a 2011 LCF's
graduate with whom Nhu Xuan signed collaborations by
the dozen) to visually enhance the modernity of the young
designer's looks. DEW is the online fashion magazine
”dedicated to support talents who have personality and
style” and here we plainly find both. Let me bawl my
smeared-lipstick kudos to the three of them!
