Although feminine tomboy fashion might seem like a contradictory descriptor, browsing through the editorial makes it immediate clear that the two can exist together. The wardrobe pairs androgynous pieces such as leather biker jackets and loose pantsuits with decidedly girly touches including hot pink hues, lace fabrics and more.
Appearing in the June 2014 issue of Cosmopolitan Mexico, the feminine tomboy fashion editorial stars model Luca. The blonde beauty was shot in studio against a white backdrop by photographer Vladmir Marti. This allows stylist Gerard Angulo's work to stand out all the more. The bright looks were perfected with both curly and straight hair as well as a flawless understated face by beauty artist Katharina Nitzpon. They are great for the fall season.
