Alcina's Fall 2013 'Angels n' Devils' collection campaign features top model star Sasha Marini. The bearded gentleman is captured by photographer Carlo Battillocchi's lens for this striking series of [black-and-white portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25).

Sasha pulls of a winter-ready wardrobe of tailored blazers and belted coats while posing amidst a snowy, forest setting. This advertorial's visual concept is imagined by Paul Gehring who brings the Alcina German Kosmetic label's signature aesthetic to life with his clean and [masculine branding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tough-guys-soft-sweaters).

Channeling a woodland wanderer, Sasha exudes an air of power and masculinity while playing this elegant and distinguished role. The top model showcases a retro coif and fully [bearded grooming looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rock-face-makes-scents-campaign) that are courtesy of the campaign's hair stylist Paul Gehring and makeup artist Fabrizio Camponeschi.
