When I first saw a photograph of Hari Nef I was drawn to an essence she possessed, which I could not quite put my finger on. Her gaze was penetrating and taunting like an invitation to enter her world if you dare. I was transformed from an admirer to a voyeur by just the subtlety of her expression. From that point on I wanted more. I spent the day with Hari on-set for our cover story watching her transform from the long hair, bohemian model we are accustomed to seeing in the pages of magazines, to an old-school, Hollywood sultress from yesteryear. Encircling her on canvases, and adorning her body, are the brush strokes of artist, Bradley Theodore. Theodore’s colorful, exuberant, and untethered splashes of pigment reference Hari’s spirit.
