Model Elishka Ku channels an elegant punk rocker in this editorial by photographer Jurgen Knoth. The blonde beauty dons a choppy and short coif -- reminiscent of elusive pop star Sia and dons a wardrobe of [black, white, crimson and gold apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25) that is strategically matched with complimentary backdrop vignettes.

This visually bold portrait series is titled 'Devine' and graces Design Scene's latest issue. Jurgen Knoth's captivating editorial brings [avant garde imagery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/day-3-capsule-2) to life and boast wardrobe styling by the talented duo Bisrat & Vinnie. Elishaka Ku dons pieces from labels including Bridal & Eve by Eva Poleschinski, Maiken K and ROEE among other names.

The photoshoot's [edgy hair styling](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-looks) is the work of Britta Tess who collaborates with makeup artist Alexandra Elena.
