Oyster Fashion: 'Power and Passion' by Mark Vassallo & Byron Spencer

Starring Alys Hale.

German supermodel Alys Hale is currently in Australia — how could we pass up such a vundabar opportunity to shoot her? Peroxide blonde, bleached brows, fierce face: she's the ultimate alpha female. Print upon print, jewel versus jewel, layers for days, the funnest of fashion... This shoot proves once more why Mr. Vassallo is one of the best in the business. Baroque meets disco meets hypercolour meets floral.
