Oh, those Russians! Alexandra Zaharova and Ilya Plotnikov feat. Doberman, a Russian advertising agency got these paper dress-ups ready for L’Officiel, the July-August 2009 issue.

You know I fall completely for unexpected urban (art) beauty! I just can’t help it! It’s our jungle, let’s feel ourselves blessed whenever there’s more than just buildings around! Or more to the buildings around!

I thought I’ve been writing my way around tattoos enough but still there’s room for yet another tattoos and fashion article! This one has been brought to my Inbox attention (thanks, Tim).
