The Exit Fall/Winter 2014 Riley editorial emphasizes the beauty and talent of model Riley Montana. Photographer Michael Schwartz chose to capture Riley in front of a pale grey backdrop, allowing a series of [chic outerwear pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sujitha-shivajothi) to pop out for readers of the publication.

Stylist Almudena Guerra selected a varied assortment of coats and shawls for this Exit production. Riley appeared ready for busy city streets via Guerra's collection of structured hats, thick jackets and cape-like pieces, each one more striking than the last.

While outerwear sets often call for practicality, Guerra stepped outside the box with swirling prints, checkered patterns and fur additions. The apparel encourages readers of this Fall/Winter 2014 issue to make bold fashion choices when dressing for the outdoors.
