The Grazia Italy September 2012 editorial has been shot on location in the wild mountains, allowing model Riley Hillyer to embrace her untamed persona for a photoshoot filled with furs, feathers and more. The images hold the promise of a crisp and cold winter, so it is only appropriate that the platinum blonde Russian beauty is layered in such pieces.

Shot by photographer Zoltan Tombor, the Grazia Italy September 2012 editorial was styled by Sabrina Bolzoni. She chose a range of outdoor outfits from labels such as Ermanno Scervino, Emporio Armani, Philosophy of Alberta Ferretti, Burberry Prorsum, Michael Kors, [Chanel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chanel-winter-tale), Les Copains, [Prada](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dimensions-eyeshadow-palette), Luis Vuitton, Tod’s and [Gucci](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/springsummer-2024). The looks were complemented by beauty artist Laura Valsecchi who played with feathered brows.
