The Interview September 2014 editorial produced by photographer Craig McDean puts the masculine side of model Amber Valletta on display. Stylist Karl Templer did away with the common preference for fall feminine apparel, instead focusing solely upon what women look like when dressed head to toe in menswear.
Hair expert Eugene Souleiman slicked back the tresses of Valletta. This short coif matched Souleiman's selection of baggy tweed trench coats, black oxford shoes, two piece suits, knit sweaters, ties and popped white collars.
Much like Valletta's serious style of dress were her expressions. Smiles were kept to a minimum as she instead looked earnestly at the camera, letting on little emotion aside from her grievous mood.
