The Youth Vision Narcissistic Dream editorial brings forth remarkably disheveled versions of models Anniek Kortleve and Lauren Bigelow. The two sport messy clumps of hair that fall before their faces, giving off a chic unkempt vibe that fits with the magazine's young audience.
Narcissistic Dream was produced by photographer Louis Christopher and stylist Katie Burnett. Christopher captured Burnett's collection of high waist skirts, knee high leather boots and plush fur jackets.
The poses mastered by Kortleve and Bigelow here will be displayed within the January/February 2013 edition of Youth Vision, introducing a brave haute couture take on the winter months. As Burnett also incorporated approachable pieces, seen in creme tops and black sweaters, there will be much to take away.
