“Access still denied” represents a fluorescent world, imagined by photographer Liz Dungate and stylist Alecia Ebbels (with styling assistant Brieanna Soo), and embodied by model Sihan Guo. Sihan looks like a mystic creature, a modern and untouchable Mulan, coming out of nowhere but ready to go anywhere. Both hair by Martin Hillier and makeup by Zabrina Matiru, with its tones of fuchsia and yellow, enriched by floreal draws and human faces, enhance this psychedelic sensation, which is also conveyed through a floral sequin dress by ASOS.

Sihan seems lost in time and space, far from anything and anyone, and this makes us think of far worlds and traditions.
