Gracious Grunge Editorials

Nicole Anne Robbins Shot Margo Frances for C-Heads

Nichole Anne Robbins photographed Margo Frances in this fresh-faced, yet grungy, editorial for C-Heads.

Frances came to Robbins' apartment with a trunk full of leather jackets in tow. According to Robbins, Frances has a natural knack for styling, and was heavily involved in picking out the garments she wore for the shoot. Hair stylist Jojo influenced the direction of the shoot in an organic way, styling Frances' hair in messy, playful hair 'dos that complemented the "grungy" vision.

Photographer and subject experienced an instant connection. Robbins explains, "Margo is cool and mysterious but full of warmth. Her eyes are ice blue and she stares at you with them like she is full if toughness but you can’t help but feel drawn to her in a way that makes you fall in love, like a long lost sister or a soul cousin."
