HAIRITAGE - AUSTRIA'S NEXT TOPMODEL FOR VANGARDIST

Good evening,

I've been dying to talk about this for months, but had to keep my mouth shut until last week... Now I can say it: I was on TV! I'm famous! Nope, I'm just kiddin, not about the I was on TV thing, but about me being famous ;) But let me give you a bit of background information...

In July Jürgen got contacted by Vangardist Magazine to shoot an editorial for their November issue, which is themed all around the topic 'Hair'. Why the November issue you might be wondering, well... because it was for the TV show 'Austria's Next Topmodel'! This editorial was supposed to be one of their 'real jobs' where the candidates go to a casting and one or some of them will get the job. Since the show was filmed in the summer, but started being on air only in September it couldn't get published any earlier. 

So off we went to Baden during some crazy hot summer sunday. There was some filming action, some casting action and some interview action. Our episode aired Oct 30th 2014. Watch the casting by clicking the following link. It's right at the beginning of the video :)


Jürgen and Julian from Vangardist decided that ANTM candidates Miro and Lydia would be the best choice for our editorial, which was all about edgyness, roughness - and a lot of hair! To get a small behind the scenes glimpse, click on the link below, our part starts around minute 9).  


Now comes the best part: I got to do the make up for our editorial! I was inspired by hair in general, especially bird's hair, i.e. feathers :) I kept the skin very highlighted, using the silver and white from my MU4E flash palette, and made feather bits and bobs that could be attached to eyebrows, brow bone and also lashes. Danny Wutzl created some cool hair style to go with it, Jürgen took some effin cool shots and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. 

Here are the final pictures, enjoy!







Cheers,
