Rankin celebrates spirit of the great Punk Ambassador, Ziggy Stardust, for Hunger Magazine, Issue 15. Touted as the New Wave Buzz Cuts, these styles embrace a sense of independence and coiffed character. The power of modified punk comes to bare in this edgy editorial that dares to imagine a place where anything is possible. Lucy Upton Prowse turns up the color quotient with couture that fits the high fashion bill. While, Marco Antonio’s wild liner leaves a great impression with wings that fly out both sides. But, let’s be clear, this is a story based on the powerful hair styling techniques of Lewis Pallett. High style seizes the moment, as New Wave Rebels give us a Birdseye View of something old turned something new. Rankin shoots these shots from overhead, giving the illusion that we are the Eye in the Sky.
Eye in the Sky
like a bird born to fly
you are part of the sky
seeking… you will find
you are one with the mind
falseness haunts you
truth sets you free
so open your eyes
to the you, you can be
No one said it was easy
No one said it was fair
the only thing promised
if you breathe you’ll meet air
We are all equal players
in this game we call life
It’s daunting and delicious
and it cuts like a knife
So, tonight… when dreaming
with your head in the clouds
dare to imagine
a life lived out loud
