A monstrous 12-page editorial starring some of the fashion world's top models, entitled 'Eternal Optimism,' appears in the Vogue US March 2012 issue. The second largest issue annually for Vogue US, the much-anticipated edition will feature the best of the spring and summer 2012 collections.
Top models Frida Gustavsson, Caroline Trentini, Karlie Kloss, Jourdan Dunn and Aymeline Valade are all featured in the shoot, which was photographed by Craig McDean and styled by iconic former model and current Vogue US creative director Grace Coddington. The shoot aims to highlight the spirit of "positive dressing" for spring 2012, and showcases few dark colors and lots of neutral-toned attire, as well as towering heels and platform sandals.
The Vogue US March 2012 features recent multi-Grammy winning songstress Adele. It is her first Vogue US cover.
