The blank canvas

Photos: Xiaohan Shen | Styling: Alice McConnell | Makeup & hair: Anni Hall | Talent: Sara Donaldson

If black is always the new black, then the only other colour that matters is white. It’s zero, the base, a gallery space, a frame of mind, the start of everything. White is the blank canvas. A canvas on which anything and everything is possible, but then again, why stray far, when lots of zeros can built up to be beyond amazing.

In this fashion photo shoot we explore the colour white, through shapes, textures and layers. We key in on the all white trend, we show you how to wear it and how to lift the looks to a whole new level with brightly coloured accessories. White on white is fresh and it’s perfect for spring and summer!
