Ana Beatriz Barros for Elle UK March 2012

The Ana Beatriz Barros editorial ‘The Shining’ for Elle UK 2012 put a glitzy twist on grunge.

Shot by photographer Lee Broomfield, the editorial has modernized the meaning of rebel. New wave punk gear doesn’t involve safety pins and spikes. All that’s needed is a rambunctious attitude and an impossibly chic, yet seemingly haphazard outfit. The editorial features erratically paired styles and textures. From pearl-encrusted blazers with shiny metallic mini skirts to sequinned dresses and biker jackets. The reckless color combination in conjunction with the models disheveled mohawk cut is the ultimate snub to conventional fashion.

The Ana Beatriz Barros editorial ‘The Shining’ cordially invites you to take on the fashion world with fierce gumption and kickass attitude. The cover reads, “Welcome to the clash.”
