RADICAL BEAUTY IS ABOUT CHALLENGING OPINIONS AND UNDERSTANDINGS OF BEAUTY IN CONTEMPORARY CULTURE. IT IS A FASHION AND ART PHOTOGRAPHY PROJECT BLURRING BOUNDARIES BETWEEN DISCIPLINES, AND WORKING TO PROVIDE AN ALTERNATIVE VISION FOR BEAUTY TODAY.
ENGAGING WITH 40+ RENOWNED FASHION AND ART PHOTOGRAPHERS GLOBALLY, THIS PROJECT FEATURES ONLY MODELS WITH DOWN’S SYNDROME. THESE MODELS ARE STYLISED AS OBJECTS OF DESIRE, BEAUTY AND WORTH, AND ALL SHOOTS ARE UNDERTAKEN WITH THE SAME DEDICATION, TALENT AND CREATIVITY AS MAJOR FASHION CAMPAIGNS.
Photography by Samuli Karala, Model Jeanne-Marie Mohn, Makeup and Hair by Helena Narra Kapidzic, Style by Mert Mikael Otsamo, Retouching by Riikka Hyvönen, Production by Bettina Beissmann at I Like Productions
