Anna Haftenberger is a 'Metropolitan Warrior' for L'Officiel Ukraine's April 2015 issue.
Though it's smack-dab in the middle of civilization, the urban landscape still comes with its fair share of challenges. No, the city dweller doesn't have to capture and kill their own food like their rural counterparts, but they're faced with other set of obstacles, unique to city life: navigating traffic, people and more people. Sometimes, it feels like we've got to grow a thicker skin just to survive metropolitan living. Or, in this case, strap on some armor to make it through the day. Fashion editor Theo Vasilou opted for edgy streetwear that would make someone think twice before they cross you. The look was completed with warpaint courtesy of beauty expert Stef Ralbovsky.
