Hyea W. Kang Disrupts Your Perception of Beauty

Beauty rules are meant to be broken. As a new year and season races on, a dismantled system is blowing away the remnants of status quo expectancy in favor for something that makes you dream. Whether it’s gender blurring approaches to castings or making sure diversity doesn’t fall out of favor, every day seems like a push towards the next era of modernity. The latest MDX original shot by Hyea W. Kang disrupts things further visually with a maximalist’s take on beauty featuring the faces of the moment, Hoyeon Jung and Zhengyang Zhang. Beauty team Yuki Hayashi and Hiro + Mari craft vividly textured looks that color outside the lines with Elizabeth Cabral styling from the resort collections.
