If we're to believe 'The Future' editorial for Flair Magazine May 2014, then battle is imminent.
Indeed, Alessandra Ambrosio looks prepared for an impending enemy attack. She is dressed in protective shoulder pads, knee pads, leather wrist cuffs and the like. Admittedly, some of the outfits are more for show than for combat -- I don't think her leather mini-shorts, embroidered jackets and fur coat will do much to shield her from bloodshed -- but either way, she looks like what one might imagine a fashion-forward soldier from the future would look like. Her eclectic wardrobe was the work of fashion editor Sissy Vian.
Collier Schorr captured Ambrosio's confident, crusade-ready demeanor against the backdrop of a desert landscape.
