The W Korea December 2011 magazine cover takes the ever popular gypsy and forest nymph theme in fashion and gives it a Gothic spin. By doing so, it transitions this style from summer to winter with ease. Although it may seem unorthodox to wear a ring of flowers around one's head in the fall and winter season, perhaps women around the world will be inspired to after seeing the W Korea December 2011 cover.
Shot by fashion photographer Catherine Servel, the W Korea December 2011 stars model Hailey Clauson. With a sulky expression that is still somehow both smoldering and endearing, Clauson really embraces the gypsy-goth look. The cool punk-inspired outfit was styled by Catherine Newell-Hanson.
