Dorian Apple
Concept shoot with Lisa Berczel (Battledress Paint-n-Body) and Nyx Valentine
September 28, 2008
In this shoot we explored the "skinny model" issue. Nyx Valentine is a vivacious, athletic woman with a naturally very slender build. She is constantly being given the most contradictory of messages: both the envious, "Ohhh, you're so skinny!" and the derisive, "You need to eat something!"
So through the magic of bodypaint, we decided to show what it might look like if this healthy model, as so many do, took the pressures of the industry to the extreme. Our glamorous runway model deteriorates from confident and energetic, to bony, sallow, and pained. And the apple she eats less and less of becomes more and more beautifully round, the more the girl wastes away.
