The Vogue Paris Feb 2012 issue features a Western-inspired editorial starring model Catherine McNeil as the charming cowgirl. The shoot was photographed by Knoepfel & Indlekofer and styled by Capucine Safyurtlu, who do an extraordinary job at capturing a poignant McNeil decked out in wears of the wild wild west.
The images picture McNeil in a ranch-like setting in cowboy boots and hat, and in snakeskin-printed blazers. The shoot is also heavy on denim, with an intriguing jewel-encrusted jean jacket and blouse that literally glows. The images also feature a dark green suede fringed blazer, paisley-print shirts and pants that range from pink corduroys, pin-striped trousers, and a geometric and bright skirt. The Vogue Paris Feb 2012 issue showcases Daria Werbowy on the cover.
