Glass Presents Ghosts In The Machine – a Beauty Editorial by Kim Brown and Mark Francome Painter


DAVID Ralph’s raw, postmodern portraits offer a glimpse into a future where beauty is no longer defined by conformity but embraced as a powerful form of self expression.

GLASS’ Beauty Director Kim Brown and Hair Stylist Mark Francome Painter explore the textures and colour palettes of their subjects with playfulness and intensity, creating characters that are both visually and emotionally resonant in a future world.
