The Ana Beatriz Barros editorial 'The Shining' for Elle UK 2012 put a glitzy twist on grunge.

All that's needed is a rambunctious attitude and an impossibly chic, yet seemingly haphazard outfit. The editorial features erratically paired styles and textures. From pearl-encrusted blazers with shiny metallic mini skirts to sequinned dresses and biker jackets. The reckless color combination in conjunction with the models disheveled mohawk cut is the ultimate snub to conventional fashion.
