Dazed & Confused magazine's August 2012 'She Was A Skater Girl' editorial has taken British model Lara Mullen's crop tresses by storm. Red, purple and blue highlights intermingle here in a disheveled manner, forcing the otherwise coiffed beauty to take on a excessively grungy look.
Mullen's appearances in Valentino and Dior runways have been met with praise. Stylist Sharif Hamza has added yet another unforeseen dimension to her portfolio via loose baggy sweats, technicolor ensembles and leather vests. The street-ready apparel aligns with the crux of She Was A Skater Girl, one that is brought to light with a quick look at the title. The inclusion of a wooden deck provided the final touch, and though Mullen may not use boards such as this one on a regular basis, she has certainly made viewers believe otherwise.
