'BOSSED UP' Models As Bad Ass Female Musicians


When we fare welled our beloved Natalia, we all knew there were great things to come...Lucky for us, those 'great things' are here and it's well and truly obvious that her creativity is unstoppable.

We've kicked off  with a 10/10 bad ass photo shoot for Oyster Online featuring Chic Girls Manon as Bjork, Sophia as Madonna, Yaya as Lauryn Hill, Olivia as Sade, Ollie as Siouxie Sioux and Anthea as Jane Birkin.


Yes you read that right and yes it's awesome...





"Jane Birkin was portrayed as a wild sex kitten and she had amazing style that has been timeless — her pictures from the 60s are still fashionable today. I think she is amazing and it was so fun to play dress up and be a bit naughty for the camera haha!"  - Anthea


"I portrayed Lauryn Hill in this amazing shoot. Lauren is an amazing woman and has had a great career as a whole. It was fun because she is someone I look up to and have loved for years. She has always been controversial and consistently speaks her mind. Through her music and career choice Lauryn always looks to speak to her fans and really truly inspire. I loved her performance in the Sister Act 2 and I think that when I truly looked into her life and career. In this shoot we focused on her 90s style — her hairstyle and natural make-up choices. I had heaps of fun...It was so much fun portraying this incredible icon.  I hope she sees this shoot. I think Natalia did an amazing job with this project and I'm glad she chose me to be a part of it." - Yaya


"Madonna will always be the undeniable queen of pop — a label given to her not only due to the popularity of her music but also her controversially outrageous antics that caused international mania and idolisation. To me, Madonna is a fearless entertainer who has always dared to venture into territory that is considered, perhaps, taboo. I would argue that it is this quality that has driven her career to span over decades. Everyone loves a sassy maverick!" - Sophia

"I look at Sade and see a woman oozing with confidence and sex appeal. It's empowering to see a woman be so compelling in such an understated manner." - Olivia

"Siouxie has always been a great inspiration to me, the strength in her voice and performance along with her dynamic aesthetic and powerful attitude gives me courage. Having the opportunity to embody her spirit in imagery was a wonderful experience." - Ollie
