Toni Garrn in 'Mild West' for German Vogue

— February 15, 2009 — Fashion
‘Mild West’ for March 2009 Vogue Deutsch took model Toni Garrn into a landscape of red rocks, dry grass and large horses. The current cowgirl look is a collection of chaps, corsets, denim, and leather. However, as stylist Katie Mossman and photographer Greg Kadel have shown here, if you just put a pretty girl on a horse and give her a hat and a holster, even a glamorous Balmain gown becomes cowboy chic.

The editorial also includes fashions by Alexander McQueen, Max Azria, Ralph Lauren, Louis Vuitton, and Proenza Schouler.
