Daphne Groeneveld stars in Richard Bush’s pioneer-themed story for the spring issue of i-D magazine. Cheekily titled 'Curtsy While You’re Thinking, It Saves Time,' Daphne poses both outdoors in the Scottish countryside as well as in the studio.

Sarah Richardson’s old world-esque styling includes pieces from [Balenciaga](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winter-2025-campaign), Jean Paul Gaultier, Prada, Pringle of Scotland and Mulberry, amongst others. The long jackets and skirts, knee socks, pearls, and paisley prints bring us back to a bygone era. Makeup artist Mathias van Hooff accented the rugged feel of the shoot with bronzed skin and bare lips. Hair stylist Karin Bigler finished with perfectly tousled locks. Daphne’s [androgynous and ever-so-rebellious poses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-we-take) were exactly what the editorial needed alongside its [old-fashioned styling](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity).
