Amanda Murphy dresses in '100% Pure Couture' for an editorial of the same name, appearing in V Magazine's Winter 2014-2015 issue (#92).
Fashion editor Josie Barnes knows that quality matters during the colder months. That 100% cashmere sweater? That's going to keep you nice and cozy, no matter how biting the wind is. Barnes dresses Murphy in high-quality couture casual wear and high-quality couture evening wear.
Photographer Benhamin Alexander Huseby shot Murphy in her haute outfits, including a particularly mesmerizing shot of the model, dressed in a white gown and flanked by two majestic wolves. She looks like the princess of the arctic.
The editorial's creative team was rounded out by hair stylist Holli Smith and makeup artist Sammy Mourabit, who both opted for a natural, no-fuss-no-muss beauty look that allowed the clothes to take center stage.
