This edgy fashion feature from W Magazine contains chic regal couture topped off with punk rock style elements. Photographer Craig McDean creates a rocker royalty feel in this editorial by blending lavish clothing with grungy backgrounds, and injecting punk princesses into elegant settings.
Model Saskia De Brauw stars in this intriguing editorial. She sports puffed up floral gowns, fur coats and sparkling accessories in this series. She also embraces some edgy hairstyles in these shots. Brauw rocks a pixie cut in these regal rocker photos, though the color changes several times. Brauw sports pink, black and even grey hair in some of the images as well.
