Sometimes the best way to appreciate the fashion in an editorial shoot is when it is shot in [black and white](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-tag-collection), and the Iris van Berne Kurv Winter 2011 photo shoot showcases the stunning pieces perfectly.

It can be easy to get caught up in the glamor and opulence of [fashion editorials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles), especially in the past few seasons, when [color, prints and retro fashions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-fw25) have been taking over, but the simplicity of this editorial, shot by photographer Sohrab Vahdat, is undeniably chic.

Styled by Kawa H Pour, the photo shoot, called E=MC2, is ultra modern and showcases 21-year-old model Iris van Berne channeling and paying tribute to 60s icon and supermodel Twiggy.
