The idea of whimsy going hand in hand with grittiness is something not often achieved as successfully as in this Bambi Magazine Issue 17 editorial. Yet it is undeniable that the images are anything but glamorous and edgy. As though striving to embrace a grunge appearance without comprising femininity, the looks are tough, mysterious and utterly gorgeous.

The Bambi Magazine Issue 17 editorial was shot by photographer Peter Orre. It stars model Marlene. The platinum blonde beauty was captured both indoors and outdoors for the dreamy photoshoot. Outfitted by stylist Marlon Leidsman, she is clad in an animal skin jacket, nude jumpsuit and fur vest. The subtly boho looks were perfected with wild hair and dark eyes by Michela De Simone.
