Kylie Jenner’s ‘summer body’ accused of being plastic surgery

21 Jun

On Sunday, whilst sunning herself in Turks and Caicos as part of her Kylie Skin press trip, Kylie Jenner shared an image on Instagram of her semi-nude body. Shot by Sasha Samsonova and captioned “Summer Body,” the image was part of a campaign to promote a series of newly launched Kylie Skin body products, including the brand’s first SPF. Fans quickly began to criticise the image, however, accusing the influencer of having “bought and paid” for her body, a result of plastic surgery. “I don't need no creams and oils, just the name of the surgeon,” wrote one Instagram commenter, while another said, “Kylie said if we buy her skin products we too will get a summer body like hers..kylie girl..I know you fuvkin...

‘Tattoo couture’: The designer turning fashion history into body

It’s been a busy year for 27-year-old designer and tattoo artist Laura ter Veer, AKA Star Bunni, as she’s known on social media. In January, she graduated from the Amsterdam Fashion Institute, where she spent six years studying fashion and textiles. She moved to Paris soon after and landed a job at Margiela as a textile assistant, before leaving the role just a few months to focus on tattooing full-time.

Jewel Yang’s photos turn the female body into a

Jewel Yang, Genesis VanishingGallery / 10 images Jewel Yang experienced a sacred moment while painting a friend’s pregnant stomach. Unlike her usual work, doing make-up for Yueqi Qi and Oscar Ouyang runway shows or Dazed cover shoots, Yang felt the tension: “Her belly was hard, resistant and elastic, making it very easy to paint,” the 28-year-old make-up artist and Dazed 100 alumni says. “I tried to be very careful with my brush strokes.” A shy, sleeping angel was etched onto the smoothly domed belly, divine iconography unfurling with new life on a human body. Religious symbols, and the weight that they carry, had been tugging at Yang’s interest for a while. “I once had someone unfollow me because I wore a skirt with...

Tilda Mace performanceGallery / 12 images You’re standing in the audience at London’s coOc on a Saturday night. DJ Daniel Fabari is on the decks, playing a psychedelic soundscape of humming, shamanic chanting, drumming, breathwork, animal noises, poems, and the thud of a punching bag being struck again and again. The lights around you glitch. On stage, make-up and SFX artist Tilda Mace stands beside a bare-chested model wrapped in furs. There’s something uncanny about him, though you can’t quite place it – until Tilda begins cutting him open. The music grows heavier, hyena cries filling the room. And then a figure emerges from the ruins of the skin, which you now realise was prosthetic: a second head, another pair of...
