There is an eeriness to the JNC Magazine 01/12 editorial that has everything to do with the facelessness of the model as well as her ethereal presence on the page. At times she looks like she was raised from the dead, while at others she looks like she was sent down from heaven. Either way, she is given an otherworldly vibe that is as beautiful as it is disturbing.
Photographed by Yves Borgwardt, the JNC Magazine 01/12 editorial was styled and conceptualized by Saskia Schmidt. A fashion stylist based in Berlin, Germany, she has given the ghostly looks a feminine and ladylike appeal that is somehow both easy and hard to miss.
