Peruvian fashion and portrait photographer Hans Neumann's latest photo shoot features a call to the past, highlighting retro glam fashion and model Merethe Hopland for Contributing Editor.
As an international fashion photographer, Hans Neumann has shot for major corporate clients like W Magazine, Nylon and Macy's. In the shoot for Contributing Editor, Hopland and Neumann take us back to the days of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. The shoot highlights Merethe Hoplandin a series of cocksure poses, wearing 80s glam accessories like heart-shaped pink shades and heavy bangles. If that wasn't retro enough for you, Hopland's hair is styled in a beautiful 1980s rock mullet. Despite the goofy glam aesthetics, Hopland is outfitted in some of the finest designers today: Alexander Wang, Versace and Missoni, among others. The Contributing Editor Swimsuit issue is on newsstands now.
