The Vogue Russia October 2011 shoot 'On the Verge of Acute' stars model Alla Kostromichova who is captured by photographer Jason Kibbler. Alla is styled by Olga Dunina and wears Marc Jacobs, Gucci, Tom Ford and Balmain. The model is the epitome of vintage glamour and is reminiscent of a younger and sexier version of Disney villain Cruella de Vil.
A black and white wardrobe complements the model's black and white hair, making her look the epitome of the villain style that Cruella de Vil made famous. Monochromatic pieces like suits, separates and furs are paired with bright-red stilettos and signature de Vil trademarks, the compact mirror, the cigarette holder and lastly, bright-red lips. The editorial mixes edginess with vintage glamour and manages to pay homage to an unforgettable fashion icon.
