The Madame Figaro April 2012 cover features the Italian supermodel Mariacarla Boscono. In the photoshoot, excessively bejeweled accessories and formal apparel are displayed, showcasing eccentric takes on adornment to viewers. Boscono sports all the pieces with confidence in a manner that is typical of the iconic fashion figure's career.
This editorial was taken by photographer John-Paul Pietrus. The original ensembles displayed here were picked out by stylist Cecile Martin, who has put on a dazzling display of metallic and gold-encrusted apparel. The clear-cut focus upon baubles, bangles and beads was driven home here by a pair of intermingled earrings, conjoined by way of an intricate design. Eccentric zippered blazers and studded pants add to the gem-laden production, mixing haute fabrics with a glistening motif.
