Don't just assume that military apparel is all about celebrating a masculine aesthetic because the Vogue Spain March 2012 editorial offers a much more feminine and sultry side to it.
Filled with military-inspired ensembles with a seductive edge, the photo shoot captures leggy model Marique Schimmel as she poses in a series of suggestive stances that show off her power as a woman. Styled by Sara Fernandez, Marique wears pieces from Balmain and Lanvin that are full of a sparkle and shine that normally isn't associated with militant style. She dons a captain's hat and stands alone in an empty room which quickly brings to mind evocative scenes from Bertolucci's film 'Last Tango in Paris.'
The Vogue Spain March 2012 photo shoot illustrates how staying strong can also mean looking absolutely stunning.
