Carin

South of the globe has a tradition of beautiful women.  Here, close to the equator, not only the temperature is hot. Our face of the month is Carin…and fitting to the rising degrees, she is attired a la Helmut Newton, in strong, confident clothing, making the backdrop of a Japanese garden pale in comparison. 

Carin, based in Hamburg, born in Ecuador, is signed to Donna Models and caught our attention with her carefree, exotic charm. The photo shoot, was kamikaze to say the least, on a day that threatened rain, but we were lucky as our set remained dry and with added special access to the hothouse, we quickly found inspiration in Carin’s canary-yellow cocktail dress amid the imported foliage.
