The Tar Magazine At First Sight photoshoot will be featured in the publication's Fall 2012 issue. Stylist Illaria Norsa makes no misgivings about the editorial's aggressive passion for leather. While some may take up issue with the unabashed references to animals, many in the fashion community have expressed an interest in this exact manner of dress.

Model Karlina Caune totes the decapitated head of a [black horse](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/year-of-the-horse-ss26) in At first Sight. Photographer Tung Walsh made the whole set appear as chic as possible with his orange-hued finish and artistic snapshots of open stilettos, [riding pants and knee-high boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/naked-wolfes-stark-boot). There is arguable something of interest for most Tar Magazine readers here, be it in the forms of cow hide vests, strict [leather gloves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsaks-cassie-sb) or Caune's overall attitude.
