The Marie Claire Turkey May 2012 editorial plays with two seemingly contradicting styles: the sophisticate and the punk. Melding them together beautifully, this photoshoot shows how a dash of edginess can freshen up a tired old look. More than that, it modernizes the prim and proper style for the contemporary, urban woman.
Model Simone W poses in front of Istanbul-based photographer Emre Guven's lens in the Marie Claire Turkey May 2012 editorial. Giving the camera her best punk attitude, she wanders rather stoically through her penthouse with the Metropolitan Building in New York peaking in the background. The British beauty was outfitted in an eclectic wardrobe by Lauri Eisenberg. The looks were perfected with a faux hawk by hairstylist John Ruidant and smokey eyes by makeup artist Fabiola.
