Model Anna Ewer channels powerful personas in this retro superhero editorial. As though inspired by She-Ra, the Princess of Power, as well as a handful of 80s Marvel and DC Comics characters, the blonde beauty is captured in striking headdresses, vibrant leathers and tough plastics throughout the cover shoot.
Set to appear in the August 2014 issue of Vogue Paris, the retro superhero editorial was shot by photography duo Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott. Captured outdoors amongst a vast expanse of desert and stormy skies, the images are not short of dramatic flair. The looks pull pieces from the Miu Miu Fall 2014 collection. Boldly eye-catching, she makes as much of an impression as any comic book superhero. Perhaps this retro superhero editorial will inspire Halloween costumes.
