Inspired by the slew of animal prints present throughout the collection, the Michael Kors Spring 2012 campaign has taken on a safari theme. In this safari, however, people won't be keeping their eyes open for elephants, lions and giraffes; they will be captivated by the models instead -- and rightly so.
The Michael Kors Spring 2012 campaign was captured by renowned photographer Mario Testino. Starring nature lovers Karmen Pedaru and Simon Nessman alongside 'tour guide' male model Armando Cabral, the photo shoot was styled by Brana Wolf. The warmth of the sunset is translated in the neutral palette of the outfits she put together. Refreshingly not over-sexualized, this ad campaign focuses entirely on the fashion and theme of the collection.
