Sensual Retro Shoots

The Julia Valimaki Noblesse Korea Shoot Channels Bettie Page

There might not be any overt sexuality about the Julia Valimaki Noblesse Korea photo spread, but there certainly is a touch of tasteful eroticism in each image. Inspired by the iconic retro style of pin-up model Bettie Page, the shoot bears the same subtle sensuality. Of course, the most unabashedly arousing thing about this shoot is the fashion.

Shot by Ryoo Hyungwon for the magazine's June 2011 issue, the Julia Valimaki Noblesse Korea photo spread is full of glamor, which isn't all due to the glossy fringed hair and red lips. Featuring the Christian Dior spring 2011 collection, it is filled with stunning couture that has a very nautical vibe. The shoot was styled by Seao Jae Hui.
