‘The Eclectic Portrait’ Numero #127 spread is a massive mix of fashion complemented by [interesting locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/main-character-hair) that showcase fall fashions in a stylishly strange way.

Model Karmen Pedaru poses in pieces blended together by fashion editor Elizabeth Sulcer, and with an eclectic air, Pedaru pulls off each [wacky picture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asos-inspired-by) like a pro for photographer Greg Kadel.

The most mild of the shots is the fur-wrapped model with an afro-styled curly coif but the personalities that follow could surely be a circus troupe. Pedaru even wigs out as a red-headed seductress in a monochromatic get up and a poses in a polka-dotted piece finished with furry booties.

Each outfit is a actually a fashionable fusion that includes Stella McCartney, Balmain and [Prada](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-eyewear-popups) but ‘The Eclectic Portrait’ Numero #127 shoot is far from off-the-rack regular.
