Taking the motif of a desert royalty to a new level, the L’Officiel Nl October/November 2012 issue features a sizzling fashion motif.
Model Anja Konstantinova sports an array of sensuous garments inspired by the idea of a chic desert queen. Her Cleopatra-like hair and equally alluring disposition make this piece a fest for fashion afficionados. Though the theme pays homage to such a legendary muse, the garment story takes a different approach. Konstantinova dons an array of modern pieces by the likes of Dolce & Gabbana, Hugo Boss, Prada and Blumarine as styled by Djuna Bel.
The spanning desert setting adds to the scorching fashion looks and was captured by photographer Mason Poole. This L’Officiel Nl October/November 2012 piece is not only visually stimulating but also leaves viewers parched from the hot modish looks.
