Naomi Campbell for Interview October 2010

Photography duo Mert & Marcus play with Naomi Campbell’s violent past for this striking editorial, featured in Interview October 2010. Naomi, clad in black and leather has taken a naked male as her hostage, speckled with tattoos and dripping with blood, the photos depicts Naomi as a glamorous yet powerful criminal. Styled by Karl Templer, the model appears in vampy outfits to match her persona. Does this editorial veer too close to the truth (after all, she‘s left grown men shaking in their boots in the past)? Perhaps, but the shocking images are undeniably gripping.
