The Vogue Italia September 2014 editorial titled A Refined Extravagance went to great lengths to display the magazine's youthful side. In each snapshot, models Vika Falileeva, Siri Tollerod and Helena Greyhorse hung effortlessly from giant trees, making for a rather playful series despite the display of haute couture.
Stylist Robert Rabensteiner met the funky nature of A Refined Extravagance with over the top apparel. Featured via Rabensteiner's pairings were animal print fur coats, patterned scarves, fur sleeves and embossed floor-length dresses. What remained consistent within each of these pieces was their evident preference for opulence, seen in high end fabrics, eccentric cuts and remarkably detailed designs.
Whether resting on branches or rocks, this couture team was able to merge fashion with the outdoors.
