Punk rock meets high fashion in Terry Richardson's Charlotte Free photoset, shot at his studio on the Bowery in New York City. The young model made a splash at New York Fashion Week in early 2011, with her [bright bubblegum-pink hair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aging-disgracefully-collection) noticeable a mile from the runway.

Now sporting purple locks, the 18-year-old shows off some [grungy 1990s-inspired looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freaks-store-1) for Terry in this shoot. My favorite shots are the simple ones, showing Charlotte looking straight at the camera and caught in the breathtakingly gorgeous natural light, rather than doing a silly pose -- as charming as those ones are.

If you hadn't seen this up-and-coming model's work before, Terry Richardson's Charlotte Free shots will definitely turn you into a fan of the grunge-loving hipster queen. The only upset in this shoot, for me, is the fact that I don't own any of her "totally rad" t-shirts.
