The Spellbound Spring/Summer 2012 'A Long Walk' photoshoot presents a distant and for the most part obscured look at model Pauline Schmiechen. The title references the casual stroll taken by Schmiechen as she weaved throughout [Starbucks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starbucks-x-hello-kitty) shops, theaters and passing street cars.

Benjamin Lindenkreuz's camera and skills were essential to A Long Walk. The photographer opted for a far-off approach, displaying stylist Lisa Trautmann's assortment of pea coats, turbans and relaxed native sweaters in an out of focus manner. In this way, Schmiechen's eclectic style and [couture apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chanel-spring-summer-2026) are all visible, but are far from the primary focus of the Spellbound snapshots. Instead viewers may find an array of busy cosmopolitan activity, the very platform wherein [seasonal fashion statements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/siegelman-stable-1) are most frequently made.
