The result: bold shots that will be seen throughout the summer in the Pleasure Store Magnum around the world, as well as on the brand's Instagram account.
 
"We had the chance to shoot the biggest icons, so adding Iris to our" winners "is a real treat! says Mert Alas. Iris is a woman who lives fully and her eyes are always sparkling. This is exactly the kind of strong woman we love to photograph. We really wanted to bring out this personality in our shots. "
