For the August 2014 issue of L'officiel Turkey photographer Ahmet Unver shot platinum blonde model Hannah Holman decked out in wooly garments and leather coats. The shoot juxtaposed various textures in a minimalist lookbook-style shoot.
Stylist Ayca Elkap dressed Holman up in a collection of layered garments that were more suited for the fall and winter seasons than the hot weather in August. The shoot centered around bold leather jackets, long skirts and coats covered in exotic patterns like bright red snakeskin. The leather was coupled with softer fabrics like wool, cashmere and silk in a slew of jewel-toned hues. Makeup artist Mayumi Oda left Holman's face bare and fresh with a simple golden smoky eye complemented by a brushed-back coif.
