September is a crucial month for the fashion world since it represents the beginning of a new fashion year, so the Interview September 2011 Strict editorial was meant to impress and it certainly did its job.

Gorgeous models Anais Pouliot, Candice Swanepoel, Saskia de Brauw, Zuzanna Bijoch, and Emily Baker were photographed by fashion photography duo Mert and Marcus for the Interview September 2011 Strict photo shoot. The aptly titled editorial spread features the models in dominatrix gear, such as leather masks and thigh-high lace-up boots.

Also making its millionth appearance this season is the Stella McCartney sheer-paneled polka dot dress, although it looks nearly unrecognizable paired with a lace mask and leather bondage belts.

The most impressive part of the Interview September 2011 Strict photo shoot might just be the fact that [Victoria's Secret angel Candice Swanepoel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atelier-victorias-secret) is seen getting out of her comfort zone and making a splash in the [high-fashion world](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stylish-fashion-campaigns-marc-jacobs-unveils-its-spring-2025-marcworld-cam).
