For the August 2009 issue, W Magazine went to the seclusion of nature for their 'Secluded' editorial.

The editorial for the August issue of W Magazine has models posed in [high fashion styles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-springsummer-2026) in the depths of the forest. Model Guinevere van Seenus posed in giant boots and strong looks. The editorial is a cool juxtaposition of slick fashion and [wild nature](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/untamed-nature).

**Implications** - The August 2009 edition of W Magazine works really well because it blends high fashion with the natural environment for a very unexpected pairing. The 'Secluded' editorial definitely is an exciting one that tops my list of [favorite editorials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles) that I have seen in a long time.
