This Numéro February 2014 editorial combines glamours garments with rough warrior-wear.
Photographer Jean-Baptiste Mondino snaps up this vigorous style shoot set in a cold concrete gym and surrounded by training equipment. Model Othilia Simon has her brown hair short and full of body, while her eyes are decorated with a striking red eye shadow that packs a visual punch and makes her look like a warrior.
The styling in this Numéro February 2014 fashion shoot is all about juxtaposition. Silky and luxurious garments that wouldn't be out of place and an upscale cocktail party are paired with hard harnesses and chalked up hand wraps. It looks as though Simon is training for a big boxing match, or to be the world's most fashionable superhero. She stretches, does cartwheels, jumps on the trampoline and even climbs a rope.
