The Common & Sense Cantabile photoshoot comes of the magazine's Spring/Summer 2013 issue. Model Anna Martynova sported a slicked back bouffant in the series, one that is more so reminiscent of a sleek male look than anything else.
Paired with this hair do, executed here by Olivier de Vriendt, are stylist Vanessa Metz's rather feminine contributions. The ensembles that she has chosen to feature are quite womanly as she dressed Martynova in bold bows, peplum shirts and billowing, floor-length skirts. It may be said then that Vriendt and Metz have given way to a rather ambiguous production, making their subject appear dainty and masculine at once. Photographer Lowe Seger captured this mesmerizing mixture while on set.
