Dark and gritty, the SNC Magazine 'Down Under' editorial appears to be inspired by the Disney villain Cruella de Vil. Complete with her signature black and white skunk-like hairstyle, the look could easily be considered a real world version of the cartoon, quite like Christopher Nolan's take on the Batman franchise.
Shot outdoors against a brick wall by photographer Nikolay Biryukov, the SNC Magazine 'Down Under' editorial stars model Gabby Dover. With her sharp cheekbones and dark stares, she makes the perfect evildoer. Keeping her away from any dog-related fashion, stylist Stella Gosteva outfitted the svelte beauty in monochromatic pieces from the likes of Akris, Givenchy, Roberto Cavalli and Lanvin. Makeup artist Marina Keri and hair stylist Ernesto Montenovo finished the dramatic looks.
