#HGExclusive Fashion Story: The Morning After By Keegan Crasto

Parched throats, crumpled shirts, smudged eyes, bruised thighs. The walk of shame can be the walk of fame and everyone in blistering Bombay knows it. We’re a city of strangers, circling each other in the light but we only let our walls down in the dead of the night and when we do dare to crawl over, the colours pop and our teeth clamp down, ready to draw just a little bit of blood. Ready to feel something again.

Lensed by Keegan Crasto, models Erika Packard & Rahul Chhabria perfectly capture the enchantment of this same sentiment of the reckless city youth. Both their beauty looks are as carefree and chopped up as their surroundings, replete with undone tresses and minimal make-up courtesy Kritika Gill and Odette Syiem.
