While the untamed outfits featured throughout the L’Officiel Paris August 2012 editorial seem more appropriate for an actual jungle rather than a concrete one, the wild looks are sure to bring out the fierceness in urban settings. Embracing the tribal aesthetic set by the fur coats pulled from the Fendi fall 2012 collection, the looks offer a great alternative to the safe, ladylike ones out there.
The L’Officiel Paris August 2012 editorial was shot by New York-, Miami- and Paris-based photographer Alexander Neumann. Starring a savage Ieva Laguna, the Latvian model was styled by Vanessa Bellugeon. Despite the ruggedness of the coats, there is an overall refinement to the looks as a whole that brings to mind a tribal queen. The blond beauty's thickly braided hair and flawless face perfect the ensembles.
