Log in to replyWow. That’s some great models and photos and it’s a different aesthetic than the other shoots.
Log in to replyIt reminds me of people who went to my middle/high/whatever school when I was still schooled, except they are older!
This is amazing. It makes me want to hang out with all those people. And I love a boy in eyeshadow!
Log in to replyWhen I saw the first pictures I was thinking “CULTURE CLUB” then you have the Boy George pictures in the background. This slideshow is a dream and I neeed to learn how to do ribbon braids.

Log in to replyWHAT is going on in pic 18?
So awesome!
Oh Yeah! Love this 90-ies gypsy-style mix, the hats and the make up and just the way they look- like they are the kings of the city! That really reminds me of my brother, too because he had a similar style and attitude as a teen.

so so so good!
Log in to replyI can’t stop looking at these photographs… haha! Simply Awesome.
Log in to replyI feel like from 24 onwards there is more of an “aesthetic thread” that binds everything together, and the collages are super duper badassery, but other than that I’m sorry but I really am not that crazy about these. :(
