As a lead in to Mulberry's F/W 2012 catwalk show I wanted to share this November 2011 editorial, courtesy of Vogue China. Titled 'fabulous fur' it was shot by Peter Lindbergh and features the ever glamorous Edita Vilkeviciute.
Sometimes I forget what a fabulous fashion editorial model Ms. Vilkeviciute is, given her success with Sports Illustrated and Victoria's Secret; however, the girl looks as good in couture as she does in underwear or a bathing suit. The majority of Sports Illustrated and Victoria's Secret models have a specific look that is more commercial and therefore fails to translate into catwalk or couture; however, Ms. Vilkeviciute and Chanel Iman (and to some extent Candice Swanepoel) have succeeded where other angels have failed (perhaps most notably Behati Prinsloo and Lily Aldridge).
I thought that this editorial fabulously highlighted the glamorous and transformative nature of fur and why, despite ethical considerations to the contrary, it is still featured so heavily in the world of fashion.
