The Harper's Bazaar Mexico July 2014 editorial showcasing model Cristina Piccone displays an athletically chic side to the model. Piccone is found clad in haute sporting apparel, a choice that resonated with the incorporation of boxing gloves and punching bags that were used as props.
Photographer Hans Neumann captured Piccone within an assortment of positions. In each shot, Piccone appears tough and poised for a difficult workout.
Piccone assumed the athletic motif of this Harper's Bazaar Mexico production with the help of Olympic apparel. Accessible zip up shirts were put together alongside thin jackets, thick sweaters and colorful sports bras, adding funky elements to the sporting lot. At the same time, Piccone also remained classic with muted colors and few bright shades.
