The Styleby Magazine Summer 2012 'Push It' photoshoot displays the beauty of Canadian model Heather Marks. Although Marks has been preferred in the fashion industry for her dainty and almost innocent appeal, she has taken on a rather rebellious persona here via [rough city slicker ensembles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/back-to-the-city).

Stylist Columbine Smille clothed Marks in cropped metallic jackets, [leather skirts and revealing see-through tops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hm-x-glenn-martens). The [graffiti-clad backdrops, rife with grime](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-looks) and paint chips, added to the gritty metropolitan vibe.

Photographer Martin Lidell accentuated the urbanite feel of the Push It production. His highly saturated images hone in on the dark display of couture pieces, further contrasting the unusual cuts and patterns with the girlish features that have come to characterize Marks' impressive portfolio.
