The Marie Claire Italia June 2012 Daiane Conterato photoshoot exhibits the model next to a large white on black motorcycle. The gritty outdoor backdrop further adds to the production's hardcore stance, arguably the perfect scene for the established Brazilian model.
Photographer Xevi Muntané is responsible for the professionally faded imagery that characterizes this Marie Claire editorial. Conterato's talent is also apparent throughout, seen by way of her mastery of two opposing motifs. Although the motorcycle does evoke images of literally fleeting gangs, red bandanas, leather jackets and metallic studs, her airy ensembles sing a different tune. An assortment of gauzy white dresses and cut out body suits display a far more womanly, if not approachable, take on biker chic fashion.
