Messy Morning Captures

The Russh December/January 2012 Beauty Issue Gets Natural

What better way to capture natural beauty than at the break of dawn? This is demonstrated in the Russh December/January 2012 Beauty Issue, which features a shoot of ethereal, naturalistic beauty.

Captured by Stephen Ward, the shoot takes the concept of "comfortable beauty" to a whole new level with morning light, minimal makeup and messy bedhead. The editorial, tiled ‘Over My Shoulder,’ gets the model dressed in comfortable nighttime wear like shorts, shirts and other light, flowy pieces.

Creative director Christine Thornton has successfully released a rather blissful and beautiful, muss-free issue. The Russh December/January 2012 Beauty Issue is sure to shake up the cosmetics and fashion industries with its disregard for conventionally decadent glamour.
