Taking a page form the cosplay book, the Harper's Bazaar Russia November 2012 issue features an eerie costumed editorial.
The double-threat Natalia Alaverdian both styled and photographed this dynamic fashion story that is amped up with theatrics. Models Priscila, Sara and Nathalia pose in this rail road-set spread that combines the travel aesthetic of Louis Vuitton with a mysterious mystique that involves a domineering nurse.
The most striking facet of this winter 2012 spread is the use of the train travel concept taken to the next level. This theme was first seen in the Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2012 collection, and now in this Harper's Bazaar Russia November 2012 spread. It is evident that the romanticism of train travel is making a comeback.
