The stunning India-born model Lakshmi Menon, who has done campaigns for the likes of Hermes and Givenchy, appears in an editorial called 'Go!' in the Elle UK December 2011 edition.
The talented Matthias Vriens-McGrath photographs Menon wearing a series of beautiful, edgy clothes from designers including Christian Dior, Alexander Wang and Versace. Centered on a black, white and blush color palette, the editorial offers a bad-girl vibe, featuring chunky boots from Vivienne Westwood, sparkling silk shorts by D&G and even a metal harness by Fleet Ilya.
This shoot for Elle UK December 2011 was styled by Nathalie Wansbrough-Jones and features makeup by Gregory Vaughan. Menon's cool spiky hairstyle is the work of Ward at Bryan Bantry for Living Proof.
