Crystal Renn embraces color for the 'Forca Urbana' editorial in Harper's Bazaar Brazil December 2013 issue. Translating to 'Urban Force,' the aptly named editorial sees Renn in a bevy of looks fit for a [city-dweller](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knys-fall-2025). The editorial dispels the common misconception that city folk only wear black, with Renn in an assembly of [colorful looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity), including oranges and turquoise.

Florals, which are typically found in pretty sundresses and flouncy blouses, appear in the editorial by way of a [botanical-inspired power suit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reformation-spring-2025). All looks were chosen by fashion editor Victoria Bartlett. Renn's colorful, powerful looks are accompanied with minimal make-up and a strong brow done by Anne Kohlhagen and a voluminous 'do by Kevin Ryan. The editorial was photographed by Dusan Reljin.
