The inclusion of a dog or a horse in a fashion spread may conjure images of affluent plutocratic class, while the appearance of a heard of goats in Original Landscape by Mara Desipris establishes a scene of rich Greek agrarian culture.
In the July 2011 issue of Vogue Hellas, this exotic editorial can be found. The bodacious Marlena Szoka poses elegantly amidst the exquisite and untamed Mediterranean setting wearing garments so bold that they rival the striking cliffs and the deep blue sea. Stylist Michael Pandos dressed the model in breezy full-length gowns of intense shades of blue to complement her coastal surroundings. Meanwhile, in one memorable shot from Original Landscape by Mara Desipris, the girl wears an elaborate earth-toned ensemble that matches the brown and white furry kid she holds in her arms.
