A Feast for the Eyes: Sensory Stimulation for S/S18

Viviane Sassen and Camille Bidault-Waddington present an exercise in sensory stimulation in AnOther Magazine’s latest issue, capturing only the most invigorating pieces from the Spring/Summer 2018 collections. Defined by Bidault-Waddington with the words “sex”, “instinct”, “brashness”, “nightmare” and “provocation”, the resulting photographs propose a very modern reflection on taste.
