Inspired by the '60s song of the same name, which was written by Jimmy Webb, the Fashion Gone Rogue 'MacArthur Park' editorial follows a story of solitude. Forlorn and lonely, the heroine wanders listlessly on location around the eponymous park.
The Fashion Gone Rogue MacArthur Park editorial was shot by Kathryna Hancock. Although it was not a rainy day, the Los Angeles-based photographer pays tribute to the most famous line, "Someone left a cake out in the rain," by shooting a sad pink cake. In place of the yellow dress mentioned in the song, stylist Alvin Stillwell clad American model Savannah DiMarco in playful patterns and colorful accents from Zara, Chloe and Paul and Joe.
