With so many fashion shoots emerging, the ability to differentiate yours by altering the scenery -- like the Hilary Rhoda Harper’s Bazaar does -- can be a tactic to stand out of the crowd. This shoot for the Harper’s Bazaar US June/July 2011 magazine issue not only stands out for incorporating [highway-haute couture looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asos-inspired-by), but for incorporating mega-model Hilary Rhoda.

The Hilary Rhoda Harper’s Bazaar shoot uses unusual backdrops that allow the [high-fashion looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity) Rhoda wears to appear even more elegant and pricey, especially when contrasted against beaten-up highway scenery.

This fall preview showcases looks from [high-profile designers such as Marc Jacobs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stylish-fashion-campaigns-marc-jacobs-unveils-its-spring-2025-marcworld-cam), Calvin Klein and Michael Kors. Each of the looks captured by photographer Lachlan Bailey showcases this freeway-fashion shoot immaculately.
