The US Vogue November 2012 issue features a celebrity cameo from the lovely swimsuit model Kate Upton.
Making a successful transition form Sports Illustrated to the high fashion publication world, the model makes a stunning debut with this fashion story photographed by Steven Meisel. Kate Upton is clad in American fashion labels such as Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren and Alexander Wang. The editorial is described as featuring a “infectious, go-for-it varsity spirit."
This phenomenal fashion story can transfer straight into street style as each garment feature embodies the spirit of the model. Now that the stunning Upton is being embraced by the fashion bible, it will be interesting to see how many other renowned publications will have her appear in editorial work.
