Model Crystal Renn for Numero Tokyo embraces her bad girl persona--smoking on the platform, sitting almost drunkenly and having a chip on her very stylish shoulder. Shot entirely in [black and white](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25), the images are as gritty as she is, lending an even tougher vibe that will attract many.

The photoshoot starring Crystal Renn for Numero Tokyo was lensed by Laurie Bartley, a photographer born in Basildon Essex, England, and based in Brooklyn, New York. The American beauty was given an 80s edge courtesy of stylist Felipe Mendes. Wearing [lingerie-inspired ensembles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mariemurs-judge-me-guilty) paired with risque trench coats, [spiked leather collars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-looks) and platform shoes, Renn is as sultry as she is gritty. The wardrobe is comprised of Emilio Pucci, Alexander Wang, Gucci. Mugler and more.
