One could trust the March 2011 issue of Interview Magazine to include such eccentric a series as Psychedelic Cowgirl by Craig McDean. Composed of some of the wackiest fashions you've never seen, this series of off-the-wall images is the result of the photographer's search for theme amidst Spring 2011 style.
The anomalous editorial features models Charlotte Free, Eliza Cummings, Sasha Pivovarova, Kasia Struss and Suvi Koponen, all wearing unconventional combinations of quite busy contemporary garments. The overall look has one wondering which era this could possibly represent. A curious irony considering each piece has been custom picked from contemporary fashion.
Revealing tacky layer after layer of intermixed designer duds, Psychedelic Cowgirl by Craig McDean offers an intoxicating interpretation of 21st century style.
