The W Magazine Earth Angel editorial features a remarkably whimsical Daria Werbowy. The model takes the organic nature of the production head on, becoming almost one in each snapshot with the falling leaves, oceanfront rocks and tangled tree branches.
Photographer Ryan McGinley imbued Earth Angel with breathtaking vibrancy. The colors of the foliage and beams of sunlight pop throughout the pages, offering a spellbinding production to those who pick up with the January 2013 issue. Make-up artist Dick Page remained true to the organic motifs as he applied only the most basic of cosmetics, allowing Werbowy's essence to shine through in the images. Stylist Edward Enninful followed suit with his mother nature-inspired draping gowns and flowing cocktail dresses.
