The Love No. 12 Jumpin editorial is currently on display as a part of the magazine's Fall/Winter 2014/2015 issue. Models Anna Ewers, Anya Lyagoshina, Leona 'Binx' Walton, Herieth Paul, Julia Nobis, Kasia Jujeczka, Kayla Scott, Lexi Boling and Dasha Gold walked a thin line between cowgirl-chic looks and an almost sinister approach to fashion, a motif that could only be brought to life via stylist Robbie Spencer.
Photographer Patrick Demarchelier captured the expertly put together ensembles of Spencer. Further teasing out the dark appeal of the outfits was Demarchelier's use of a black and white filter, letting on little color aside from the strips of blue, pink, red and yellow that lined the images.
Evident westerner elements come of wide brimmed hats, conservative dresses and collared one piece suits, echoing the designs of decades past.
