By just looking at these images from the Prabal Gurung Spring Summer 2012 campaign, you probably can't figure out who the model is. It's Candice Swanepoel! The lovely blonde has turned brunette for this seductive shoot. Although Swanepoel's new dark locks and burgundy lips render her barely recognizable, they are perfect for this smoldering hot campaign, which is titled 'Sensual Flowers.'
And sensual it is. Inspired by the photographic works of artist Nobuyashi Araki, the campaign has an elegant yet sexy vibe as Swanepoel models in back-bending poses on a white sheet, showcasing violet and turquoise floral ensembles with see-through inserts from the Prabal Gurung Spring Summer 2012 line. The really eye-popping pieces, however, are the roped harness-belt and the strappy, mesh-detailed stilettos -- very hot.
This stunning campaign was photographed by Daniel Jackson and features styling by Tiina Laakkonen.
