The 'God's Own Country' shoot takes a different approach to the popular religious theme that many fashion editorials are adopting lately. Instead of taking place in a dramatic and Gothic cathedral, or focusing on the naughtier sides of nuns, this photo shoot takes place in the country, while a pious peasant seems to struggle with other natural tendencies.
Shot by Stevie & Mada for Tank Magazine's Fall 2011 issue, the God's Own Country photo spread stars model Mila Krasnoiarova. Frolicking around fields in nothing but rustic lingerie, Krasnoiarova embraces her sensuality. Styled by fashion editor Pandora Lennard, she pulls off these daring looks from Dior, McQ by Alexander McQueen, Vivienne Westwood and more with ease and grace.
