Dialing back on the glamour of high fashion, Paul Bellaart’s New Apache photo shoot featuring Romy Schönberger for Glamour Spain Sept 2012 is all about keeping it real and down to earth. Stylist Belen Zavala maintains the relaxed vibe with her use of rugged pieces in natural fabrics including wool, leather and cotton blends as well as the use of earthy tones ranging from tans, grays, browns and blacks with just a hint of muted colour.
Romy Schönberger poses barefoot with a very laid-back posture in a rural backdrop; slumped on a porch bench with a rabbit in her lap, walking past grassy fields and evens tanding on a deck near a lake wearing nothing but a thick wool blanket as though she had just come up from a swim. All the natural elements and earthy tones give this photo shoot a very relaxed and earthy feel that can only be achieved from vacationing at the cottage.
