Model Suzie Bird goes gamine for the Nuyou Singapore October 2012 editorial. For those unfamiliar with that particular word, it describes a neglected girl left to run about the streets. Of course, it is hard to make a case for someone clad in Chanel from head to toe. Nevertheless, the scruffy hair, bruised eyes and overall vulnerable vibe does lend the French beauty a sad look.
The Nuyou Singapore October 2012 editorial was shot by photographer Wee Khim. Captured on location in Paris, France, for the Asian publication, the outfits were eclectically assembled by stylist Johnny Khoo. He concentrated on heavy outerwear and cozy layers while makeup artist Cindy Goh and hairstylist Dexter Ng complemented the looks with low-key beauty.
