Bal Masque | Josh Olins | Vogue Paris 90th Anniversary Issue | October 2010

Note | Nudity Karmen Pedaru, Dree Hemingway, Anja Rubik, Shannan Click and Frida Gustavsson are lensed by Josh Olins and Sharif Hamza in this tribute to masked balls for Vogue Paris 90th Anniversary Issue. The history of masked balls around the world is associated with a temporary release of repressed sensual pleasures in temporary, fleeting moments. In countries like Brazil, they continue as an opportunity at Carnival for the social classes and perhaps genders to mix in sensual anonymity.
