‘Sleepwalker’ by Nhu Xuan Hua featuring Codie Young for Nasty Magazine
This editorial has been haunting me since I first came across it, everything is just so utterly perfect & I love that it has a real sense of emotion about it too, real depth. I rarely share editorials on here, as I don’t often come across many that really blow me away anymore & feel worthy of a post, which is a great shame, but this one definitely did.
I know Codie Young is one of those love her or hate her type of models, but I adore her. Especially when she’s like this with minimal makeup & that vacant stare, she reminds me of the women in Da Vinci’s paintings with her heavy lidded eyes, delicate features, porcelain skin & flame hair. She is that perfect kind of unusual beauty.
I urge you to check out the rest of Nhu Xuan Hua‘s portfolio too, her other works are equally as breathtaking as this, some perhaps even more so & she is firmly being added to my mental list of favourite photographers too.

Wow, that first image. Codie is beautiful, it’s her vacant stare that does it in these photos, it pierces right through me. Her skin and hair, and everything about her is perfect! xxx

so surreal – that face looks straight out of a pre raphaelite painting!
