Bella Hadid channels Ziggy Stardust in this punked up editorial for Harper's Bazaar Korea. Combining the current influence of 1970s glam rock on fashion trends with the world-wide tributes to the one and only David Bowie. Photographer Nick Hudson captures an editorial that is contemporary in so many ways. Hadid's choppy and bold hair is teamed with androgynous make up and sees her styled in delicate lace dresses.
A joint exhibition in LA between two of it's biggest museums, is home to the biggest retrospective of renowned photographer Robert Mapplethorpe. From his iconic portraits of best friend Patti Smith, to Mapplethorpe's insightful self portraits to his radical journey through the underground sex scene of New York in the 80s.
Away from the controversies of the time and the political outrage at a gay artist's sexualised work, today, these exhibitions give us a chance to really view Mapplethorpe's ability as a photographer. The fine detail, the delicate yet stark lighting and the photographic composition.
