The Vogue China 'Shining Punk' editorial is aptly named. Not only does it revolve around the punk style, it also incorporates a lot of shining details from the glow of the sun to the use of metallic materials. By doing so, the looks are given a feminine twist that many women will appreciate. The tough chic act doesn't have to be too alienating.
Set to appear in the September 2013 issue of the magazine, the Vogue China 'Shining Punk' editorial was shot by photographer Hedi Slimane. It stars model Gracie Van Gastel. The blue-eyed beauty channels her inner teen angst with the help of stylist Melanie Ward, who may have concentrated mainly on Yves Saint Laurent, but also added a few pieces from the likes of Elder Statesman, Versace and Dries van Noten.
