/
Model Anna Mila Guyenz is styled by Francesca Rinciari in a Barbiecore fashion feast, lensed by Javier Biosva [IG], that plays directly into the highly-anticipated Barbie film, scheduled for release July 21, 2023. This reality check locks down the style supposition that pink passion has not yet peaked.
Advanced prisons have pink rooms and it’s at least rumoured that some football teams have painted the opposing team’s guest locker rooms pink. All roads lead to Iow’s Kinnick Stadium on this topic. Beware that the original pink prisons research has not been duplicated. The BBC drilled down deeply on this connection between color and brain activity last July.

These pink passion, vibrantly-beautiful images of Biong represent King’s second main fashion story for the magazine.

Read More“This story was based on one of my favourite photographers, the often (and sadly) overlooked Fay Godwin. She was an incredible woman, stomping around the Scottish Highlands in her big coats and thick jumpers with her tripod and Hasselblad, taking landscape pictures that are every bit as brilliant as those of Ansel Adams and co.
