Left, a mask by CIRCO GRINGO @circogringo, commissioned by Harry Lambert to represent the ‘many faces’ of Claude Cahun. More of Circo Gringo’s fantastical creations can be seen on his Instagram page, it’s well worth a visit. Below is one of Cahun’s still life photographs with masks. Right, a STEFAN COOKE @stefan_cooke  printed shirt.

 

Cahun, ‘Between Us’, 1926.

 

 

MAX ALLEN @maxallenbabes created this tinfoil pixie costume for the shoot. A stunning ensemble commissioned by Lambert. On the right Arina wears a ROSA KEEM @rosakeem diamond jacket and frill shirt.

Last but not least, the bell glass jar and the bell earrings and body chain reminiscent of Cahun with dumbbells. The bikini and bell jewelry are all by ANDREAS KRONTHALER for VIVIENNE WESTWOOD @viviennewestwood. The photograph on the right is also our cover.
