Crystal Renn embraces color for the 'Forca Urbana' editorial in Harper's Bazaar Brazil December 2013 issue. Translating to 'Urban Force,' the aptly named editorial sees Renn in a bevy of looks fit for a city-dweller. The editorial dispels the common misconception that city folk only wear black, with Renn in an assembly of colorful looks, including oranges and turquoise.
Florals, which are typically found in pretty sundresses and flouncy blouses, appear in the editorial by way of a botanical-inspired power suit. All looks were chosen by fashion editor Victoria Bartlett. Renn's colorful, powerful looks are accompanied with minimal make-up and a strong brow done by Anne Kohlhagen and a voluminous 'do by Kevin Ryan. The editorial was photographed by Dusan Reljin.
