Numero China Editorial for March 2012 Issue

Sexy, sublime, sensual. Three words, connected by alliteration and sibilance. They are also three words that describe the latest editorial "Crash" for Numero China perfectly. Everything from the risque styling, dramatic lighting and urban landscape screams fiery hot. I decided to share this with you, because of the admirable photography by Txema Yeste, featuring Crystal Renn and styled by Tim Lim.
