Straying away from the usual bold colors of spring and summer, the Purple SS 2013 editorial is instead a powerful collection of [androgynous black and white images](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25).

Photographed by Alasdair McLellan and featuring model Ehren Dorsey, the photo shoot is based in an underground graffiti-ridden industrial setting. Dorsey sports blunt bangs, heavy eye makeup and dark lips for a bold look that is both androgynous and seductive that matches the [punk rock background](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-october-collection) perfectly. The black and white palette of the Purple SS 2013 editorial continues to add to the overall rebellious attitude of the spread.

Throw away your schedule and responsibilities and let your [inner wild child](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wildest-ones-yet) loose like in the Purple SS 2013 shoot.
