Model Jenna Pietersen brings a grittiness to the Western theme that hasn't really been seen since the era of Clint Eastwood and 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.' Although that might be a bold statement, it's hard not to make that conclusion when taking in her edgy outfits and dark attitude. That said, Jenna Pietersen also bring a modern twist that wasn't present in those films.
Shot by photographer Daniella Midenge, Jenna Pietersen is captured on location at a historic ranch in South Africa. The editorial, which is set to appear in the latest issue of Germany's Myself Magazine, was creative directed and styled by Theresa Pichler. She focused on a mainly neutral wardrobe of whites, blacks and nudes that would perfectly fit in both city streets and dirt roads.
