Model Ataui Deng stars in a stunning, spellbinding, sensual beauty statement lensed by Elle Muliarchyk for Interview Russia December. Styled by Gro Curtis, Ataui shows off the work of hair stylist Kenna with braids while manicurist Deborah Lippmann creates colorful nail looks. In all seriousness, it’s Deng and Muliarchyk locked in an artistic tango that soars with these spectacular ‘Up Close’ images of one very sensual woman telling another of women’s stories./ Makeup by Deanna Melluso
