This elegant spread was shot by Marcin Tyszka for Russia’s Harper’s Bazaar Fall 2010 edition. The editorial -- set in nostalgic studio lighting -- has a vintage cinema factory feel, sending the reader back in the day when there was only one real movie star and this would be her. Laetitia Casta without a doubt does justice to that retro diva title.
The clothes themselves are daring to say the least. Animal print, feathers, rusty leather coats paired with beige nearly invisible pull-up stockings -- every combination is put together to accentuate the delicate feminine built. The headline says it all: "Real women are not afraid of wearing tight dresses, feathers, diamonds and lace."
