High fashion is usually associated with taking fierce struts down the catwalk, but the Vogue China March 2013 editorial has decided to slow things down a bit with a stool-lounging photo shoot.
Shot by photographer Willy Vanderperre, the series features model Daria Strokous as she poses in a casual yet elegant manner atop of a black stool and couch. Fashion Editor Nicoletta Santoro has dressed her in eccentric ladylike ensembles complete with fur coats, skirt suits and kitten heels, but the defining item in this editorial has to be the oversized pink floral-printed skirt. Strokous wears her hair sleek and pushed back with a bobby pin.
Haute couture doesn't have to mean outright extravagance; this Vogue China March 2013 photo shoot illustrates the beauty of balancing the outrageous with the simple.
