The ensembles featured throughout the ELLE Norway August 2013 editorial may seem incredibly eclectic, but there does happen to be some rhyme and reason to the looks. Mixing uptown pieces with downtown, the result is an elegant twist on the iconic grunge style. Even with the mussed up hair and bold makeup, it is hard to mistake the chic element for anything else.
The ELLE Norway August 2013 editorial was shot by photographer Jorgen Gomnes. It stars Supreme model Isabele. The edgy brunette beauty was outfitted by stylist Connie Berg, who clearly went to town when it came to this wardrobe. From plaid shirts and sheer skirts to satiny pantsuits and animal prints, the looks are wild. Makeup artist Andrew Sarmiento and hair stylist Kenshin were on beauty duty.
