After another model was ill, Ali Collier from Vision LA came to the rescue for an exclusive C-Heads editorial shot by Jared Thomas Kocka. The talented behind-the-scenes team was comprised of stylist Roman Sipe and hair and makeup expert Nona Mahmoudi.
The Google dictionary defines tenacity as "not readily relinquishing a position, principle, or course of action; determined." Judging by the disgruntled look on her face, I can't imagine Collier readily relinquishing anything; she looks stead-fast and strong-willed in these shots. If not actively looking for a fight, she's definitely ready for one (should someone cross her). Collier wears leather snapbacks, mesh jerseys, open-toed combat boot sandals and fingerless gloves that dare you to question her authority.
All in all, despite her blonde hair and diminutive frame, Collier definitely looks like she can stand her ground.
