Supermodel Naomi Campbell stars in the Agent Provocateur Spring/Summer lookbook for the 2015 season.
Campbell channeled her inner femme fatale for acclaimed photographer Ellen von Unwerth. The "femme fatale" trope was further accentuated with other pop culture references, such as films like Bonnie and Clyde and West Side Story. The powerful female figures in these films serve inspiration for Campbell who, is herself, a very powerful woman in the modelling industry .
Browsing through the images, there is a sense that this woman is completely unknowable; a mystery that will remain unsolved until the end of time. And it is perhaps that mystery from which she derives her power. After all, it's the most powerful people who have the most skeletons in their closet.
