Photographer JC Verona’s dark and sexy editorial stars the beautiful brunette Claudia from M + P Models London. The Spanish born photographer, who is now based in London, has had editorials in Volt, Bambi and Fault magazines among others. For this shoot JC’s inspiration mixed erotism and noir, which we felt took a nod to the brilliant style of photographic legend Helmut Newton. The seductive 80’s styling by Miriam Mira, who used a Yves Saint Laurent oversized hat, lingerie from British based Agent Provocateur and stockings from Wolford, is simply infatuating. Make-up artist Keiko Nakamura used MAC Cosmetics to give Claudia a dark eye and bold lip. And the hair was styled in a messy wet look by Carlos at Radio London, using Bumble and Bumble hair products.

For our latest women’s editorial, Ponyboy stylist Jules Wood dressed French 18 year old beauty Charlotte Blouet, from the R Agency in New York, in vintage Yves Saint Laurent.
