Vogue's ‘Stranger in a Strange Land'

While W Magazine’s cover shot of Angelina Jolie breastfeeding taken by Brad Pitt is getting all the buzz right now, the October 2008 issue of Vogue Nippon features a less buzzed but very captivating editorial that fashionably showcases what it feels like to be a ‘Stranger in a Strange Land.’

Styled by Anastasia Barbieri in true haute couture that is worthy of a Vogue editorial, model Carmen Kass is captured by talented photographer Yelena Yemchuk as a European or American in Japan.

In addition to the exquisite couture fashion, the art direction of the shoot adds a subtle yet deep dimension that transcends an otherwise typical fashion shoot into a captivating story.
