Bette Franke welcomes spring in a series of metallic fashions for the S Moda April 2014 issue. Fashion editor Chabela Garcia dressed Franke in space-inspired jackets, mirrored tank tops and shiny, metallic body suits. Garcia utilized a bigger-is-better mentality when it came to the accessories, opting for stacked gold arm cuffs and big bauble necklaces.
To finish off the look, hair stylist Marco Santini decided on hair you could run your fingers through (as Franke does in several shots). Makeup artist Niki M'nray contributed with a bronzer-heavy look that enhanced Franke's natural tan.
Finally, David Roemer had the pleasure of photographing Franke in her lustrous spring wardrobe. If you think it's too early to bust out the metallics, this editorial will do its best to prove you wrong.
