In this editorial for the Kurv Magazine 'Icons' issue, model Alison Arboux channels the inimitable blonde bombshell Brigitte Bardot for photographer Jonathan Segade. With [sex-kitten hair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity), [smoky cat eyes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign) and gorgeous outfits, Arboux makes a convincing doppelganger.

Sara Bascunan provided the styling for this [retro-themed shoot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deja-vu-cocktail-menu).

**Implications** - The sensual shoot was photographed in the beautiful city of Paris, France and even features the Eiffel Tower in a few of the images. Alison Arboux wears a range of styles--mostly in black--that include tiny and short dresses, striped long-sleeve shirts and badass body suits paired with thigh-high nylons. She looks so gorgeous that it is hard to take in the magnificent scenery!
