Inspired by the works of Picasso’s Blue Period, “& the banshees” draws from trad goth subculture to subvert expectations and express the deep rooted emotional core of these works. Pulling from ideas of the melancholy and social isolation in Picasso’s art, this shoot balances the grandiose and exaggerative elements of gothic fashion and makeup with the nature of the outcast.
