When you live in subzero climates, the one thing you can count on to provide both fashion and function is fur, something that is certainly apparent in this Iza Olak Marie Claire Russia spread.
Decked out in chunky folk-inspired knits, an ultra-cozy fur cocoon cape/hat, furry knee-high boots and what looks to be fur pants, model Iza Olak shows us just what it means to be a stylish snow bunny. The spread was photographed by Alan Gelati and appears in the magazine's January 2011 issue.
