'The Softest Edge' Blends Leather & Linen Beautifully

This editorial from photographer Manolo Ceron is titled ‘The Softest Edge,’ and it’s no wonder; the shoot features a fashtastic blend of edgy rocker accessories like leather jackets and thick black leather belts with light, breezy and feminine gowns, shorts and minidresses.

The end result is a chic version of 80s-era Madonna, a punk rock princess that’s far more chic than cutthroat. Click through the gallery above to see more images from ‘The Softest Edge’ by Manolo Ceron.
