The Flaunt Spring/Summer 2014 issue features a rather religious look at model Patricia Van Der Vilet. Photographer Alexander Neumann temps ones faith in each shot as he captured Van Der Vilet before statues and crumbling buildings, backdrops which offset high heels and slim dresses.
Stylist Sofia Odero merged conservative styles with brazen designs. Opulent head coverings and floor-length gowns were matched with lace see-through pants, strap lace bras and a crop feathered jacket, enabling Odera to challenge the traditional aspects of devout apparel.
Set in Peru, there is certainly much to take in within each of these images. Aside from the unexpected ensembles of Odero, historic sites provide a window to the country's ancient architecture.
