The Vogue UK Mario Testino August 2015 photoshoot featuring model Lara Stone incorporated a live, small kitten that will be displayed to upcoming readers of the magazine.
A pale backdrop proved to be the ideal setting for this feline-friendly production. Stylist Lucinda Chambers made each outfit pop in front of the light scene with metallic fabrics, sheer pieces and a series of colors interspersed with one another in a crisscross fashion.
Chambers added even further notes of visually appealing drama with chunky high heels, reflective sandals and an assortment of chic, patterned socks ideal for both summer and winter wear. In all of this, animal prints and chaotic patterns added even further animal-inspired appeal to this Vogue UK production.
