The 'Spy in the Cab' editorial for Black Magazine centers around a dark darling who seems set on experimenting with the fetish fashion fad in her own unique way. The pairing of pleather platforms and leather corsets with peter pan collars and prim blazers makes for elegant outfits that have an erotic edge to them.
Shot by fashion photographer Paul Empson for the magazine's latest cover shoot, the Spy in the Cab editorial stars demure model Anna de Rijk. Dressed head to toe in Louis Vuitton throughout the entire photo shoot, it is no surprise that all the looks are so cohesive. Each look has a monotone palette. Sam Ranger styled the Dutch beauty while her voluminous hair was created by Halley Brisker and understated makeup by Ashley Ward.
