Here is another model that has amazing cheekbones. But the things I like the most about Natasha is her ability to transform, whenever I see a picture of Natasha I am shocked by how she manages to look so different it sometimes takes me a minute to realize it’s her. Also her runway walk is something else. I love love love her walk it has to be one of my favourite. Every time I see her coming down the runway I can’t help to bop my head along to her walk (hope that makes sense). There is so much attitude and power in her walk I love watching her come down the runway.

The first  time I really took notice of Natasha was on the runway, her walk blew me away. But the editorial that I recently saw which inspired this post was the Numéro 'Couture by Night' editorial. This editorial was so beautiful and it featured male model Baptiste Giabiconi. I love the concept of this shoot and Natasha looked stunning. Also she brings something different to every shot, she is so effortlessly elegant.

Nastya Kusakina - How To Spend It Magazine June 2012

One of the trends that we have been seeing a lot on the runway is the peplum. This editorial titled 'Hit Below the Belt' for the June issue of How To Spend It Magazine features model Nastya Kusakina wearing this season biggest spring trend. The shoot was styled by Damian Fox and the Photographer was Kevin Sinclair. The editorial features designs from Alexander McQueen, Dior, Gucci, Victor and Rolf, Celine, Giles, Versace and Roberto Cavalli.

I really like this editorial, a lot of people have been struggling with ways to wear this trend and this editorial is a big help. My favourite look is the stretch-flannel jacket with the braided leather belt by Gucci, it's a very well tailored piece and makes wearing peplum a whole lot easier.
