We brought you a first look at the racy cover of the March 2009 issue of Dazed & Confused magazine, and now we bring you the full steamy editorial of punk love with young real-life lovers, models Ash Stymest and Eliza.
Photographer Mariano Vivanco captured the young British models who were styled by Nicola Formichetti in black punk gear and a whole lotta attitude.
There is even an alternative cover that features a more ‘covered’ Eliza & Ash in case the racy topless cover couldn’t be displayed in bookstores.
