The luxe western editorial in the August 2014 issue of Vogue Mexico shows what it takes to be a glamorous cowgirl these days. Although all of the usual suspects are there including fringe, leather and even a poncho, the designs have been updated for the modern woman. Instead of being blatantly themed, the outfits hint at the Wild West so as to be worn on a regular basis.
Shot on location by photographer Stockton Johnson with art direction by John Paul Tran, the luxe western editorial stars model Louise Parker. The blonde beauty was clad in a very specific wardrobe by stylist Valentina Collado. The slightly androgynous looks were perfected with tousled hair by Sienree and a flawless face by Ingeborg.
