There’s nothing that I love seeing more than models and magazines based in my hometown of Toronto pushing boundaries and creating beautiful images, which is why the Dani by Chris Nicholls for Flare January 2012 editorial shoot is one of my favorite features to come out this year.

The photo shoot is styled by Flare’s fashion editor the talented Elizabeth Cabral and shot by Flare favorite Chris Nicholls. When you see an editorial spread called ‘Rock of Ages,’ you know it’s going to be great. Wearing pieces from some of the top design houses on the planet, such as Givenchy, [Dolce & Gabbana](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign), Christopher Kane and [Prada](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/old-navy-x-the-devil-wears-prada), among many others, Canadian model Dani is a vision in [stunning, sparkly garments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veronica-beard-party-edit).

The Dani by Chris Nicholls for Flare January 2012 photo shoot is a great way to start the new year with a bang.
