The Vanidad Spain May 2011 issue features an editorial with the bombshell model Valerie van der Graaf sporting big hair and bold makeup. While the editorial is very eclectic and bold with a rainbow of colors, the traditionalism shines through with its geisha-inspired theme.
Valerie van der Graaf wears a hodgepodge of pieces, but denim seems to be a common factor among the dizzying array of garments featured. The theme running through the Vanidad Spain May 2011 shoot is evident through geisha-inspired pieces like a kimono and platform slippers.
Although the traditional geisha is demure and subtle, this Vanidad Spain May 2011 editorial takes the tradition and launches it into a modern-day affair.
