The theme of the Vogue Spain 'Orient Express' editorial might be obvious, but what sticks out the most is the model's accentuated forehead. The skintight cap coupled with her lowered brows makes it appear even larger than it really is. Nevertheless, the Asian influence is not compromised by her alienesque appearance.
Shot by photographer Jason Kibbler, the Vogue Spain 'Orient Express' editorial appeared in the February 2013 issue of the magazine. It stars model Ginta Lapina. The Latvian beauty was clad in Oriental-inspired pieces from such labels as Prada, Marni and Gareth Pugh amongst others. Following a strict black and white palette, the looks are strikingly structured and seductively skin-revealing. Overall, the Vogue Spain 'Orient Express' editorial seems to suggest outfits perfect for a futuristic Eastern culture.
