For the September 2014 issue of W Magazine, top models Daria Strokous and Anja Rubik posed in a vintage boudoir setting decorated with butterfly-themed decor.
To match the interior design, stylist Giovanna Battaglia dressed the leggy blonde models up in butterfly decorated dresses and jewelry. The shoot featured talented photographer Roe Ethridge that took a very stylized approach to shooting this vintage and retro editorial. The models are captured looking incredibly seductive as they flirt with the camera while sprawled out on beds, couches and armchairs. Many of the jewel-toned garments are made with luxurious fabrics like silk and fur that are perfect for fast-approaching the cooler months. The butterfly theme also adds a kitschy feel to the editorial despite it being centered around high-fashion clothes and glamorous makeup looks.
