The luminous Louise Parker is photographed by Jason Kibbler for Vogue Spain's 'Trench Topic' editorial, featured in the January 2014 issue. Fashion editor Brian Molloy outfitted Parker in variations of the classic wardobe staple. From the traditional double-breasted garment, to an inventive suit adaptation (complete with trench-inspired trousers,) each photograph pays homage to the fundamental fashion piece.
As any fashion-forward woman will tell you, sometimes a well-fitted trench coat is all you need -- literally. For instance, Parker wears a trench and nothing else for the cover image, proving that the trench can be just as sexy as it is practical.
To off-set her sophisticated look, Parker sports a more casual hair and makeup style, courtesy of Brian Buenaventura and Pep Gay, while Gina Edwards is responsible for her neutral manicure.
