Richard Bush knows how to create a captivating fashion image and for Vogue Russia he digs deep into his bag of tricks for a moody editorial featuring Abbey Lee Kershaw. With her silvery hair and bleached brows Abbey looks more haunting than ever and the wide array of shimmering pieces chosen by Sarah Richardson look incredible on her.

Abbey Lee Kershaw is a living doll in Richard Bush‘s charming story for i-D Magazine. Sporting long bleach blonde locks and oversized accessories, Abbey is somewhere between Barbie and a Blythe doll. The mod styling by Sarah Richardson and whimsical false lashes by give this story a 60s feel that is right in line with Abbey’s vintage chic look and otherworldly appeal.

One of MDC’s favorite Russian beauties smolders in Lanvin on the September Vogue Russia cover by the incomparable Hedi Slimane.

Jimmy Paul‘s tresses and Wendy Rowe‘s rockstar makeup provide the final unconventional touch for this electric fall editorial.

Love this i-D story with Anna Selezneva for their “resourceful” issue. Photographed by Richard Bush and styled by Sarah Richardson, the story includes real Japanese obis and kimonos incorporated into the designer pieces. Certainly the right way to “tighten the belt” during these recessionary times.
