The Vogue Spain April 2012 Kasia Struss photoshoot features strange and unpredictable Western motifs. The cowgirl theme is made readily apparent here by way of studded desert-ready hats and handkerchiefs, all of which are jazzed up with couture twists.
The Western motif assumed by Struss, a Polish model by descent, worked well with the artistic direction of photographer Giampaolo Sgura. Sgura has captured the rugged and bizarre essence of the editorial, evinced by way of a smoking Struss and a scruffy man with a fierce gaze. Stylist Sara Fernández added her personal touches to the set, selecting tattered vests and wrangler-esque belts. This particular approach to high fashion of the ranch variety has seldom been seen, producing a distinctive and entirely eccentric vibe.
