It’s legs galore in the editorial ‘Uptown Girl’ in the upcoming April 2009 issue of Vogue Nippon.
Top model Daria Werbowy shows us how uptown girls can flaunt their legs in an assortment of cocktail gowns chosen by stylist George Cortina with photography by the Dutch duo Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin.
Rather than going with mini dresses, Vogue Japan invites you to dress with full length gowns that have waist-high slits and see-through material that guarantee your legs will be the center of the show.
