The tailored structure of each outfit showcased throughout the Russh 'Ultra Sonic' editorial is balanced by the messily chopped hair, courtesy of Mark Hampton, gracing the head of model Kolfinna Kristófersdóttir. While the ensembles themselves have an edgy eccentricity, the [punk haircut](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nova-arts-salon) accentuates it to give the overall photoshoot more interesting character.

The Russh Ultra Sonic editorial was lensed by photographer Alex Franco. Appearing in the June-July 2012 issue of the magazine, the Icelandic beauty was styled by fashion editor Gillian Wilkins. Wilkins selected pieces from the likes of Lanvin, Jonathan Saunders, Giorgio Armani and Jean Paul Gaultier for a wardrobe rife with [darkly shimmering sequins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25), form-fitting skirts ad eclectic patterns. Makeup artist Laura Dominique finished the looks with [bold brows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smashbox-x-ilka).
