With the winter lurking in many parts of the world, the November issues have started rollin' out their warm fur shoots, with the Velvet November 2011 issue as the most recent.
Kori Richardson steps out into this shoot playing a woman warming herself as she sits by the foggy river. She is wrapped elegantly in warm fur and dresses. This dark, yet mysterious shoot is alluring as it not only focuses on Kori's beauty, but also captures the mist and cold looming in.
Captured by Marcus Ohlsson, the shoot is every bit mystical, with the river adding a sense of whimsy. Styled by Laura Bianchi, Kori is clothed in fuzzy, warm, wintry fur-clad dresses and I must say, she still looks smoking amidst the layers of the Fall 2011 collections in the Velvet November 2011 issue.
