From Dominique Sisley’s article for AnOther:
Michal Chelbin meets the world’s most sartorially striking students in her new book, How to Dance the Waltz. In a quest to understand adolescent style and identity, the Israeli photographer takes us into the matador schools of Seville, the military academies of Ukraine and the chintzy-glam prom nights of Kiev. “Uniforms are symbolic of the adult world,” Chelbin told AnOther. “I’m fascinated by the tension between this outer world and the inner lives of children. It’s with the camera that I’m trying to uncover a certain truth.”
