The 'Flash Forward' S editorial is featured in the magazine's January 2013 issue. The cover story stars IMG model Hanne Gaby Odiele who is photographed by Jason Kibbler's lens and outfitted by [Atelier Management](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/myieva-platform) stylist Anthony Unwin.

Unwin dresses Hanne in a series of [60s inspired wardrobe staples](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wildest-ones-yet) from fashion's top designer names. From charming pineapple prints to tapestry inspired textiles, the wigged model channels a MOD scenester in [retro infused garments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prefall-2026-collection) that exude a sleek and modern flair.

Hanne sports a platinum blonde coif by hair stylist Tamara McNoughton and retro makeup looks by Benjamin Puckey in the 'Flash Forward' S editorial. The model is fresh-faced and youthful in a pastel-enriched wardrobe. Inspired by the 60s MOD era, these pieces enforce the past's influence on the fashions of today.
