Happy birthday, Issey Miyake! This dress and trouser set is made by the renowned Japanese designer in 1990. Though these pleats may look rigid, they're flexible and add a distinctive texture to the clothing.

Ouch! The woman in this print is getting a tattoo. The look on her face lets us know that the pain is so harsh she can’t help biting into the towel in her hand.
The textures on the towel the woman’s kimono were created by using fabric in the printing process.

That's a moray! 🎵
Photographer Shane Gross witnesses a peppered moray eel very much in its element hunting for carrion at low tide. It took Shane numerous attempts over several weeks to document this rarely photographed behaviour.
