The SCMP Style Soft Touches editorial is a lesson in mixing and matching. It beautifully pairs classically elegant pieces with equally classic rugged designs for looks that are gritty, glamorous and completely unique. As though channeling a [wild, nomadic princess](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/untamed-nature) who has been introduced to a more civilized society, stylist Marcus Teo has chosen to inject her untamed roots into her current wardrobe.

The SCMP Style Soft Touches editorial stars the stunning Bruna Tenorio, who has a universal look. Teo has clad her in [furs, feathers and leather](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcqueen-holiday-2025) from fashion houses such as Oscar de la Renta, Alexander McQueen and Ralph Lauren. The editorial was shot by Blair Getz Mezibov with windblown locks styled by Kenshin Asano and [sophisticate makeup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign) by Stevie Hyunh.
