L'Express Styles' 'Feminine Touch' editorial brandishes the robotic side of model Carla Gebhart. The budding French publication has been a leader within the contemporary European fashion scene, and stylist Sebastian Kaufmann has kept up with its legacy here.
Feminine Touch will be placed within the November 2012 edition of L'Express Styles. Photographers Luciana Val and Franco Musso made Gebhart appear inanimate as she took on mechanical qualities. Her face is completely void of emotion, according the scene with futuristic elements.
Headgear is also vital to Feminine Touch. Gebhart wears military caps and a host of pilot-appropriate goggles in each picture, choices that Kaufmann found appropriate for L'Express Styles as it strays away from the mainstream in most regards.
