Soft, romantic and full of nature, the Urban Magazine May 2012 editorial follows model Karen Gro as she explores her hippie, forest nymph side in a lush garden. Posing languidly in front of Italian photographer Cristina Capucci’s lens, she is caught lying down in a bed of grass and petals, precariously balancing on rocks and even buttoning up her shirt in a bedroom backdrop.
The Urban Magazine May 2012 editorial was styled by Ivan Bontchev. He went with a wardrobe filled with lightweight sweaters, lingerie-inspired pieces and embellished skirts for a delicately feminine wardrobe befitting a pretty maiden in the prime of her youth. The youthful looks were perfected by beauty artist Fabio D’Onofrio who went with tousled locks and understated makeup that accentuates the model's natural beauty.
