It has been a while, but here it is: a brand new edition of #artistinthespotlight! Today, it’s the incredible photographer Rebecca Millen, from Freiburg, Germany. I have been a fan of her for quite some time, and when we got to work together, it was a dream come true. I love her very artistic yet dark style, and her way of editing is very typical for her work.
She is young and is just starting out, but her talent is unmistakable, and I’m sure we will see a lot of her in the future!

Find her on:

I was looking around for some inspiration, and my eye caught this amazing hairstyling on Junya Watanabe’s Spring-Summer womenswear collection. The techniques used here are to make hair into an afro, but the hair wasn’t released – they kept the hair in the wire and made it into a fashion statement, using the wire to make a very punk-looking style. I am completely in love with all of this, and would love to experiment with this technique, as well!

The hairstylist responsible for this amazing work is Katsuya Kamo, who was interviewed by Infringe in this video. Check him out!
