Tendencias #147 (part 2) Julian Hennig (part 4)

"Into the Twilight" is the title of this int'l editorial by Angelo Buonuomo and Didier Cometti featuring German coverboy Julian Hennig (aka Ulee to buddies) interviewed by Victoria Zárate (read after the pictures), groomed by Alex Solterman and shot by Enzo Laera in Berlin (pictures retouched by Bastian Stain) for the current issue of Spanish fash mag Tendencias.
La fibre vampírica traspasa pantallas y bestsellers de exacerbado romanticismo para ataviar de sobriedad los próximos meses. La sangre fría de Edward Cullen, los versos herméticos de "Déjame entrar" o los vampiros reformados de True Blood y Vampire Diaries ensombrecen la tierna luz de invierno en un túnel sin salida. Negro sobre negro. Y piel sobre piel. Cuerpos inertes que hacen migas con capas de murciélago y piezas desertoras de la estética punk, como botas con punta de acero o colgantes envejecidos por el paso de los siglos. Jerseys de punto grueso se sobredimensionan bajo levitas interminables y cárdigans que comparten parentesco con mantas polares. Cualquier protección es insuficiente si tienes que armarte de piel fría y cruzar la noche que se despierta.
