Dutch supermodel and Victoria's Secret Angel Doutzen Kroes stars in a fierce editorial for the Interview Germany April 2012 issue that pictures the blond beauty in a bleak and desolate urban landscape. The chic shoot has a retro feel to it, utilizing silhouetted spring looks and featuring must-have items of the season like Prada's race car pumps.
Doutzen Kroes was captured by the lens of fashion photographer Vincent van de Wijngaard for the 'America' shoot, which showcases an Americana theme with lots of red, white and blue. Doutzen was styled by fashion editor Anna Schiffel, who selected pieces by designers like Prada, Yves Saint Laurent, Celine and Miu Miu for Interview Germany.
Interview Germany is a new international branch of the publication, having launched in February of 2012 featuring Lana Del Ray on the cover.
