Art Nouveau Disco Goth! Rebelicious Magazine cover: Angelica Brigade hair flowers, Vaute Couture dresses.

rebelicious magazine, goth cover model

While I was in Portland, I did something special… I shot a cover and spread for Rebelicious Magazine! It’s an honor to be the face of their winter issue, which came out today.

There’s more happy news: my Budapest travel video and slideshow are published here on Business Insider, and the reaction is huge — 150,000 views and counting! I hope you’ll take a minute to watch, and that you’ll enjoy the photos below.

la carmina modeling

My team and I took these images in Portland, Oregon, mainly around Steel Bridge. I love shooting outdoors in different cities, as I feel these types of photos best convey the feeling of a place.

All of the magazine photography is by Melissa Rundle and Eric Bergemann, who are also my travel filmmakers. So far, we’ve filmed in Budapest, Maldives, Mexico, Hawaii, Belgrade and more! (You can see all videos on my YouTube channel.)

First Mate Naomi Rubin took behind-the-scenes and additional photos, which I’ll share in an upcoming post.

Aren’t these velvet dresses adorable? They were lent to me by Vaute Couture, an eco-conscious and vegan fashion label. The latest collection is inspired by Sailor Moon — the Jpop colors and cute cuts were a perfect fit for me.

You can purchase this Kristina dress, a Constellation dress and more from Vaute Couture’s website.

hair flower accessories

My silk flower hair accessories were created by hand, by Angelica Brigade.

The accessories can be pinned or clipped on, and arranged in any way — including stacking them to make a flower crown. Angelica Brigade customized the colors to match my new hair!

Speaking of — my mermaid hair color is the work of Stephanie Hoy of Avant Garde Hair in Vancouver. The ombre effect is a combination of turquoise, blue and dark purple.

My coat is a disco-pimp dream, isn’t it? It’s vintage Alan Cherry (Toronto designer brand), from Portland store Hattie’s. Once I saw the long white leather panels and faux-fur trim, I had to have it.

My makeup is 100% Annabelle Cosmetics, a Canadian company. I’ve been wearing them the entire time in Portland.

As you might know, I’m a big fan of Art Nouveau, and wanted to do a shoot inspired by this aesthetic.

My take on the dreamy, floral world of the Mucha ladies. (Remember when I saw his Art Nouveau exhibit in Tokyo?)

It’s an honor to shoot for Rebelicious Magazine, a publication “for girly girls in a brutal world.” They celebrate alternative style, underground culture and individuality — all things I stand for.

The winter issue features an interview with me, so you’ll have to pick up Rebelicious Magazine here for the full scoop!

Which of the two outfits do you prefer? It’s fun to switch up my wardrobe, in order to match my ever-changing hair color.

No animals were harmed to make this faux fur scarf. I got it at Holt Renfrew.

Here is the shot that ended up being the magazine cover.

The back of my Vaute Couture dress has a cut-out star.

Portland’s autumn colors were too gorgeous not to shoot.

Lens flare is always welcome, especially when it reflects teal like my dress.

Thanks to Rebelicious Mag and my team for this wonderful project.

PS: My Budapest travel video is released! Watch as I visit hipster bars, rock out at a surreal music festival, and taste Hungarian food. I hope the Mission Impossible running scene makes you smile.

I love Asian beauty products, especially from Korea and Japan. But if you live in the West, these brands are hard to acquire.

My solution? Lilies Shop, a Canada-based supplier of Korean makeup, wigs, contacts and more!

Lilies has an online shop, and several physical locations in Toronto and Vancouver. I went to Tinseltown one that opened a few months ago. The staff is friendly, and you can try on pretty much any product before buying.

Store manager Lily did the nail art, using Liole nail polishes. I’m a fan of the matte colors and nail art gems.

There’s a large selection of Liole skin care and makeup, in trendy shades suited for Asian skin tones. Isn’t the packaging cute?

Skin whitening products are often misunderstood. Lily explained they contain citrus ingredients (not bleach) and aim for a gentle, gradual brightening (not a Michael Jackson pastiness).

Liole’s leg shaping gel is a hot product. “Presents cool feeling that helps to relax and presents elastic on your stressed and swelled leg.” I’m sold.

The BB creams are popular. There’s a sunscreen line, and a collection for men.

I’m wearing a Banana Fish kitty shirt from Closet Child Tokyo, and a spiky faux-fur jacket from Lip Service.
