The Vogue Netherlands September 2012 editorial showcases a slew of experimental haute couture looks. At once creative and classy (although the latter might be put to question at points throughout the photoshoot), model Vlada Roslyakova channels various personas in the transformative looks. From a sultry ghetto stunner with tangled tresses and gold lipstick to a futuristic fashionista with an encrusted mask, the Russian beauty displays her versatility.
Shot by Netherlands-based photographer Alique in collaboration with stylist Martien Mellema, the Vogue Netherlands September 2012 editorial features the designs from such labels as Chanel, Givenchy, Jean Paul Gaultier and Armani Prive amongst others. The high impact photoshoot was perfected by hairstylist Jerome Cultrera and makeup artist Irena Ruben, who played with many themes.
