The Constance Jablonksi and Eniko Mihalik for Vogue Japan December 2011 photo shoot is one of the boldest and brightest to come out of the fashion magazine world in a while. For a December issue especially, this is just what readers want to see before the holiday season and before the freezing cold weather really kicks in.
Shot by Alex Cayley and styled by Giovanna Battaglia, the Constance Jablonksi and Eniko Mihalik for Vogue Japan December 2011 editorial spread features the two gorgeous models wearing bright, colorful furs and knits by the likes of Missoni, Christopher Kane, Celine, Michael Kors and Louis Vuitton.
Even though I don't wear fur, these lovely coats in shades of green, blue, orange, purple and pale cotton-candy pink certainly make for great eye candy.
