The beautiful Suvi Koponen wanders barefoot through the Arctic snow in her [ice princess gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-north-face-and-cecilie-bahnsen). These draping and flowing outfits camouflage her into the surroundings, making her fade into the [wintry element](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fall-and-winter-line).

Photographer Craig McDean and stylist Jane How do an excellent job at making her fade into the background and matching the texture and colors of her outfits with the rocks and snow behind her. The monochromatic photographs almost made her disappear like a chameleon against tree bark.

Although icy and frigid, Suvi Koponen appears perfectly serene and undisturbed by the cold. She gracefully walks along, being directed by nothing but the [winter winds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veronica-beard-apres-ski). Her beauty and calm expression is captivating and will make you want to travel somewhere cold and peaceful.
