Beauty unlocks its creative possibilities as the annual art and fashion collective
_HOUSE OF_ unveils its fourth year inside the pages of Rankin’s HUNGER Magazine.
The fourth year of _HOUSE OF_ is marked by innovation and legendary collaboration as stylist Kim Howells pairs with celebrated portrait and fashion photographer Rankin to place beauty in the spotlight.
London’s most iconic Hair & Beauty artists have been invited to ask themselves what LUSH means to them by visually displaying their answer in a ten-page editorial published in October’s Hunger Magazine.
Artists Terry Barber, Peter Gray, Isamaya French, Charlie Le Mindu, Kenna, Ayami Nishimura, and Marian Newman whom all have achieved acclaimed careers as pioneers in the Hair & Beauty industry have each worked on a very special shoot with Howells & Rankin.
None other than legendary textile designer Zandra Rhodes lends her luscious penmanship as the illustrative introduction to the story and each iconic artists’ exclusive work.
To publish the collection of HOUSE OF LUSH rather than exhibit the collection in a physical environment like previous years was a conscious decision by Howells which creates a dynamic dialogue between the lasting nature of print in contrast to the ephemeral notion of beauty.
The unveiling of _HOUSE OF_ LUSH was celebrated at the launch of HUNGER Magazine’s third issue which was unforgettable and not to mention ‘LUSH’.
