Russian supermodel Sasha Pivovarova is transformed into a dreary bohemian mash-up of colors in the Vogue Italia February 2010 issue entitled 'Bohemian Way.'
Transformed by fashion editor Edward Enninful, the orange-haired model resembles a character out of a Tim Burton movie, to say the least. Photographed by Emma Summerton, Pivovarova lounges around on zebra rugs and smokes cigarettes while draped in silky tie-dyed patterns and chunky jewels.
Implications - The rapid resurgence of bohemian styles that has occurred both on the runways and in the streets speaks to a bigger pattern that will continue to occur in the fashion world. This pattern is the recycling of iconic fashions from years past.
