Models of the moment Karlie Kloss and Lindsey Wixson star in a fierce editorial for Numero 131, March 2012. The shoot produced a high-contrast set of images that pairs bright fluorescent lights with a black backdrop that really highlights the embellished details of the clothing.
The couture-filled spring editorial was shot by the one and only Karl Lagerfeld, who continues to succeed in every possible form of art he tackles. The shoot, titled ‘Neo-Couture,’ also produced the cover image, as Karlie appears on the front of the Numero 131 issue.
The dark Numero 131 editorial also features models Saskia de Brauw, Aymeline Valade and Daria Strokous, and is styled by Rebecca Bleynie and Vanessa Metz. The clothes in the shoot are all haute couture, including selects from Valentino and Atelier Versace.
