Clad in Chanel, top model Saskia de Brauw appears on the cover of the December 2013 issue of Marie Claire Netherlands. The Dutch beauty further shows off the versatility of her beauty in a hair colour change – her boyish crop taking a bleached blonde turn.

Saskia de Brauw graces her second Vogue Paris cover and shows off some grungy fashion and beauty with an androgynous mood on the magazine’s September 2013 issue. The Dutch model sports newly platinum hair and a total Saint Laurent look, complete with combat boots and a bikini top.

They’re all models at the top of their game (or at least near enough to it), but is Antidote magazine right to call them all icons?

It’s no wonder the mermaid as fashion inspiration is such a popular theme for fashion editorials. It’s an opportune excuse to make excursions to seaside locations, to bask in the sun, and to mix fashion with a little (or even a lot) of fantasy.
