The Eurowoman January 2015 editorial orchestrated by photographer Mariya Pepelanova displays a lush pastoral scene to readers of the current magazine. Model Johanne Schmidt posed effortlessly in front of green rolling hills, merging fashion with the outdoors.
Stylist Barbara Gullstein paired this chic pastoral display with plaid blazers, ribbed turtlenecks and baggy rolled up jeans. Schmidt appeared ready to weather any oncoming storm with chunky scarves, billowing shawls and baggy trousers, giving way to warm, cozy ensembles.
Fur-lined leather vests and floor-length skirts add modern elements to these otherwise classic looks. Schmidt thus walks somewhere between the past and the present, updating historic looks that are most commonly associated with quintessential farming or ranch scenes.
