This Vogue China May 2013 photo shoot may be titled 'Elegant Safari,' but it's far from what I would imagine an animal expedition to be.
Shot by photographer Li Qi and starring model Du Juan, the editorial is what the great outdoors looks like in the world of high fashion. Model Du poses in floor-sweeping skirts and dresses with strappy heels and a number of leather pieces styled by Candy Lee. Her red hair is styled in a blunt bob and bangs while her make up is kept simple to balance the boldness of the rest of her look.
I may have pictured safaris as a rough and tumble adventure with animals running free, but this Vogue China May 2013 editorial has proven it can also be a completely stylish affair.
