The V Magazine Northern Exposure editorial features Nordic fashion that stands the test of the elements in a chic way.

The stunning Stef Van der Laan stars in this spread for the Fall 2012 issue. Her beauty look consists of a mane of platinum hair that frames her porcelain white skin and is contrasted by the bold carmine lipstick she sports. This ice queen look is the perfect complement to the [striking outwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scandinavian-edition-jackets) that appears in this fashion story as styled by Hannes Hetta.

Northern Exposure was lensed by photographer Magnus Unaar, who captures the snowy landscapes and show-stopping [layered looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shein-layering-lines) with dignified excellence. V Magazine has created a euphoric fashion story that tells the tale of northern escapism and avant-garde winter wear. The added emphasis on [luxury outerwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsak-fw2526-ski-collection) makes the winter season seem a time of chic statements despite freezing weather conditions.
