The cowgirl look is embraced as it should be in the Fashion Gone Rogue 'The Way West' online editorial. Tough and gritty, this is not a woman anyone would want to mess with. It is a hard job wrangling cows and chasing gun-slinging bad guys. These looks do such a job description justice while also maintaing a sexy femininity along the way.

The Fashion Gone Rogue 'The Way West' online editorial was shot in studio by photographer Tim Ashton. It stars model Zana Dandy, who poses against a stark white backdrop, which is a refreshing change from ranches and open fields. She is clad in fringe, [leather chaps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frye-x-aurate) and [ten gallon hats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hello-kitty-howdy-partner) from the likes of [Gucci](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/springsummer-2024), Emporio Armani and Kaylene Milner.
