Adriana Lima channels her inner cowgirl for a Western-inspired editorial for Garage Magazine’s Fall/Winter 14 issue. Aptly titled ‘Once Upon a Time in the East,’ the shoot features Lima showing off her toned Victoria's Secret bod in a variety of denim looks, from shredded jeans to cut off shorts and a patriotic-emblem shirt.
Each look was accessorized with big-buckled belts, cowboy boots or wide-brimmed cowgirl hats; however, the coolest accessory was a pair of funky yellow, leather fringed gloves. The shoot was styled by Carlyn Cerf de Dudzeele and photographed predominantly in black and white by Inez Van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin.
Overall, Lima exudes a bold and rebellious look to go with all the Western fashions. In one photo, a topless Lima covers herself with a hat, whilst defiantly staring at the camera. Lima’s confident stare really captures the spirit of the gritty Western shoot.
