Despite the slight oddity of the Dazed & Confused June 2012 editorial, it is perfect for the spring season. The bizarre beauty looks coupled with the ethereal fashion gives the photoshoot a touch of fantasy. It is not everyday that a women is spotted with butterflies on her face. Nevertheless, the colorful and at times metallic qualities of these insects complements the shimmering, pastel-hued ensembles perfectly.
The Dazed & Confused June 2012 editorial was captured by United Kingdom-based photographer Ben Toms. It stars model Elza Luijendijk. The Dutch beauty was styled by Robbie Spencer, who outfitted her in romantically textured designs. It is master makeup artist Peter Philips who steals the show, however, transforming Luijendijk into an otherworldly creature.
