The Vogue Paris November 2013 issue pays homage to the acclaimed neo-noir film adaptation of James Ellroy's L.A. Confidential, a novel that explores our fixation on celebrity (and throws in a couple of corrupt cops for excitement). The dangerously sexy shoot stars the beautiful Iselin Steiro in a series of glamorous, old-school Hollywood looks. Anastasia Barbieri dressed Steiro in a dazzling array of luxurious furs, double-breasted jackets, full-length trench coats and high-waisted trouser suits for a distinctly retro finish. Steiro's perfectly coiffed hair, luscious pout and come-hither look cement her as a bona-fide femme-fatale.
The primarily black-and-white photographs, shot by Glen Luchford, are delightful mixture of grit, sensuality and glamour. The magnetic shoot not only does the film justice; it also reveals Steiro's inherent, sultry star quality.
