Rankin x Ayami Nishimura

Yesterday Rankin celebrated the release of his second book in his beauty trilogy which sees him collaborating with different makeup artists, previously Alex Box and now Japanese born Ayami Nishimura. The book was a labour of love and precision, taking two and a half years to complete and the images are striking, with bold use of colour and a futurist tone. You can order the book from Amazon for £34.99 and it's available now. A selection of photographs were on display at the Annroy gallery last night for the launch party and will stay on display until the 31st of August, check out some of my pics below (click to view full size):
