Captivity becomes model Iris Egbers as she embraces her situation in the Tush Magazine Summer 2012 editorial. Although held against her will in a steamy bathhouse, she manages to pose seductively in front of London-based Australian photographer Philip Riches’ camera instead of succumbing to emotions of fear and desperation. It doesn't hurt that the steamy environment is exactly what a mermaid-turned-human would appreciate.
Stylist Monika Kropfitsch put together the oceanic-themed wardrobe together for the Tush Magazine Summer 2012 editorial. The Dutch beauty was clad in designs from such labels as Prada, Versace, Jil Sander and more. Stunningly regal despite the skin-revealing outfits, she looks more like a goddess from the sea. The looks were finished with a plastered coif by hairstylist Hester Wernert and dewy skin by makeup artist Irena Ruben.
