Fully outfitted in Comme des Garcons model Daria Strokons is photographed for the November 2009 issue of Vogue Nippon in an editorial called ‘Basic Instinct.’ Sporting a bright pink, high chignon, Strokons, who is styled by Rei Kawakubo, is fitted into several Comme des Garcons’ Fall 2009 military-inspired jackets for the shoot.
In what is perhaps a nod to the coming cold season and the Asian penchant for wearing face masks while ill, Strokons’ face is covered in a sheer, embellished mask by Julien d’Ys.
