Model Michelle Buswell looks dangerously chic in her latest spread for Soko Zine Issue #3. ‘Venus in Furs’ shows off some interesting ensembles like a pink satin off-the-shoulder top, a daring black dress and a teeny-tiny bikini top.
Shot in a highly lit stairwell and some kind of dressing room, Buswell works a perfect pout and seductive poses throughout the shoot. Although some looks are a little retro for my taste, this girl can work it.
