The Lara Stone W March 2012 editorial is like a slot machine for haute couture fashion looks. The top, middle and bottom portion of the model is sectioned off to show different outfits in each segment. From exposed male torsos to fiery negative head shots, the images are as fantastical as they are eclectic. As eccentric as images may be, however, the outfits work seamlessly to offer unique styling tips and ensemble choices.
Lensed by Solve Sundsbo, the Lara Stone W March 2012 photo shoot is a visual treat that combines photography, illustration and collage. Styled by Marie Chaix, the editorial showcases looks that are full of texture, patterns and colors. Everything from sparse paisley prints and fringed skirts to quirky embellishments and knit tights are featured.
