Lanky model Iris Strubegger is the queen of duality in her latest spread for the Bergdorf Goodman Spring 2010 Catalogue. Shot by photographer Daniel Jackson, ‘Transformer’ shows Iris seamlessly morphing from androgynous to feminine and back again.
Sporting pieces from Prada, Jason Wu and Oscar De La Renta, the Austrian model shows off a classic black pantsuit, glittering mini dress and modern sweaters. It seems ‘Transformer’ is showing some new ideas for spring, and going from androgynous to feminine is perfectly acceptable.
