Charlotte Kemp-Muhl blossoms in a fashion garden for the 'Belle Plante' editorial in Numéro's May 2014 issue.
Fashion editor Bill Mullen planted the seed by styling Muhl in psychedelic colors, botanical prints and draping silhouettes. He accessorized with theatrical headpieces and bold jewelry; in one stand-out shot, Muhl is decorated with a swarm of colorful butterflies. If this editorial is any indication of Mullen's gardening skills, then I think it's safe to say he's got a green thumb -- and Muhl is no shrinking violet, either.
Muhl rocked a voluminous, curly 'do (perfect for nestling butterflies) done by hair guru Tuan Anh Tran and an electrifying makeup look by Mariel Barrera. Greg Kadel stepped inside this modern-day Eden to photograph Muhl for Numéro May 2014.
