“Never let go of that fiery sadness called desire.” Patti Smith
FOR the beauty story Punk Poetry the photographer Paul Farrell photographer Paul Farrell and make-up artist Nancy Sumner explores confidence and attitude using SS20 hair and make up trends with gender fluid ideas. Introducing modern-day punks who have the power to live their dreams and express their renewed sense of energy with gritty, careless and unabashedly imperfect make up: a celebration of colour, mega wings: whether flicked upwards or downwards, full brows into full focus and sparkling skin embellishments that scream anarchic punk culture.
More isn’t just more – it’s now everything. Wet-look futurism, bold hair with plenty of volume and statement hair accessories define this current powerful attitude originating in troublemaker subculture. Our contemporary take on bravery and strength through beauty
promotes individual freedom and expression of creativity, non-conformity and punk art.
