Model Anna Ewer channels powerful personas in this retro superhero editorial. As though inspired by She-Ra, the Princess of Power, as well as a handful of 80s [Marvel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christian-louboutin-x-marvel) and [DC Comics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/batman-x-blvck-collection) characters, the blonde beauty is captured in striking headdresses, vibrant leathers and tough plastics throughout the cover shoot.

Set to appear in the August 2014 issue of [Vogue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nft-collection2) Paris, the retro superhero editorial was shot by photography duo Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott. Captured outdoors amongst a vast expanse of desert and stormy skies, the images are not short of dramatic flair. The looks pull pieces from the Miu Miu Fall 2014 collection. Boldly eye-catching, she makes as much of an impression as any comic book superhero. Perhaps this retro superhero editorial will inspire Halloween costumes.
