Model Chiharu Okunugi is a modern muse in the Dansk Spring/Summer 2014 cover shoot. Although she looks as though she stepped out of a Victorian painting, on closer inspection it is clear that her entire look is based on contemporary styling. From the sleek silhouettes to the metallic fabrics, the outfits are made for women who want to show off their sensual sides in an artistic manner.
Shot by photographer Michael Schwartz, the Dansk Spring/Summer 2014 cover shoot is part of the Danish publication's Escapism issue. Embracing this theme, stylist William Graper clad the Japanese beauty in rich tones and glittering accessories while hair stylist Roberto di Cuia played with a frizzy white wig and makeup artist Hung Vanngo concentrated on red lips. Christopher Stone designed the set.
