The W January issue features a stunning wilderness meets romanticism editorial starring model Daria Werbowy.
The stylized and gorgeous shoot captured Daria's natural beauty in nature. The editorial was deemed 'Earth Angel' and displays Daria frolicking about in a slew of breathtaking settings. The magnificent photographs were shot by the talented Ryan McGinley and were styled by Edward Enninful. Edward played into the angelic theme dressing Werbowy in flouncy gowns, fringe, lace and silk organza. Her hair is wispy and her movements flow with ease. Beauteous shots include Daria swaying in a pile of leaves, hanging from a tree, perched on a rock by the sea and crouched in a field of shrubbery.
The W January issue featuring the editorial 'Earth Angel' is a phenomenal mixture of fashion, photography and nature.
