The Contributor Magazine Spring/Summer 2012 photoshoot, featuring models Linnea Regnander and Ellinore Erichsen, does an excellent job of showcasing a futuristic take on fashion. Gilded eyebrow jewels and an assortment of [glitter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holiday-2024-makeup) has been used here to give off an otherworldly, if not robotic, vibe.

This Cotributor Magazine editorial was executed by photographer Peter Gehrke. Gehrke's ability to stray away from the mainstream is readily apparent here, especially given the expert way in which he blurred both Regnander and Erichsen's faces. And while the images do have a certain hazy quality about them, they are at the same time notably sharp with attention to the production's use of sterling silver tresses, [reflective eye shadows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christian-dior-summer-2025) and [elongated nails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreams-express) amid the embossed snakeskin-esque backdrop.
