A wordplay in the highly popular TV series title, the W Magazine 'Dame of Thrones' spread showcases fashion-worthy of the middle ages.
With heavy-duty leather, armor-like silhouettes and attire for a fighting heroine, this editorial channels a strong muse. Styled by Jacob K, the pieces featured in 'Dame of Thrones' utilize fall's showstopping garments to make a statement of strength. Fashion houses like Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, Alexander McQueen and Vivienne Westwood make up the warrior attire sported by model Kristen McMenamy.
Perhaps the most stunning frame is one that features a showstopping embroidered dress by Balmain against a stark black background. Photographer Tim Walker captures the feel of medieval fashion combined with breathtaking natural landscapes.
