Ola Rudnicka stars in an alternative rocker beauty editorial that is lensed for the pages of Vogue Italia. The Vogue Italia Beauty cover story graces the publication's February 2015 issue and is an homage to Hole singer Courtney Love. Known for her turbulent marriage to late Nirvana rocker Kurt Kobain, Courtney has always been an icon when it comes to grungy fashion and alternative rocker beauty.
Photographer Richard Burbridge captures supermodel Ola as she pulls of wet-haired and messy blonde locks, bleached brows and bold lips that are a Courtney Love signature. She experiments with purple streaks and matching lipstick hues along with harshly drawn brows and red lip color applications.
Styling for this editorial is courtesy of Robbie Spencer who works alongside hair stylist Yannick D'is and Makeup artist Marla Belt.
