There is a subtle dominatrix quality about the DSTM AW13 collection that some people might say is not subtle at all. The ebony ensembles are full of skin-revealing cutouts, harness-like belts, masks, pleather detailing and more. What makes the DSTM AW13 collection go a bit over the edge is the seductive stare of the model as well as her provocative poses.
Shot in the intimacy of a simple home, the DSTM AW13 lookbook is also very raw in style. It is almost as though Terry Richardson himself lensed the photoshoot. The German boutique, which is based in Berlin, cast model Ulrike Theusner in the lookbook. She was shot by photographer Maxime Ballesteros. The brunette beauty's sensually elegant looks were perfected by hair and makeup artist Selina Reimann, who concentrated on a basic ponytail and flawless face.
