Chinese artist Liu Bolin is a master at this craft. Meticulously painting his body, he seamlessly blends into the environments behind him, as a means of commenting on mans role with nature and social strife. So it’s interesting to see that his latest project is a collaboration with American photographer Annie Leibovitz who’s well known for her glamorous cover photos of A list celebrities. Even more surprising is that it’s an ad campaign for super fancy outdoor brand Moncler, who admittedly make some really great clothes.

The campaign started last season, photos from the SS17 collection are toward the bottom of the post, and now continue to FW17 with a journey through Iceland. I’m shocked that Bolin’s art of painting of himself still feels exciting and new through the years. It feels like he continues to try and outdo himself with each project and utilizing the incredible backdrop of Iceland is a smart choice. I love the incredible contrast of bright blues with the deep grays and blacks. Really stunning work created by all.
