Bloodied and bruised, the Lola Dikova Bambi Magazine editorial may glorify violence, but instead of showing a victim, it celebrates a survivor—and a tough one at that. The battered model wears her injuries like badges of honor while her lover watches on protectively. An intriguing editorial, it begs the question, "What happened?"
The Lola Dikova Bambi Magazine editorial was shot by Ukrainian photographer Sasha Samsonova. Starring alongside male model Tima Velykodny, the Slovenian beauty was styled by Kristina Bakanova. The editorial appears in the publication’s 9th issue and showcases a range of layered fur coat looks that are a cross between a wealthy mafia wife and a successful stripper. The tousled hair finish off the looks.
