The Marie Claire Spain October 2012 issue showcases the high fashion potential of equestrian fashion.
Captured by photographer Sergi Pons, this editorial is a luxe display of fall fashion. Each frame is stunning with its show of the spanning countryside and beautiful horses. Styled by Ruth Baticon, this stunning editorial mixes autumn's layering tendency with textures of sleek leathers, wool and knits.
Model Rasa Zukauskaite sports a vast amount of riding gear and gives the imagery a boost of moody energy to compliment the all-black palette. She tends to the horses whilst sporting pieces where the fine detailing plays a central role. Embroidery, peplum and cinched-waist coats are given a countryside update. This romantic fashion story makes for a laid-back take on autumnal silhouettes and textures.
