En Pie de Guerra

Daria makes a surprise appearance in the May 2010 issue of Harper's Bazaar Espana in a fourteen page studio editorial.

There is the studio editorial done right, and then there is the studio editorial gone horribly awry, the later usually courtesy of Vogue US. This is only Harper Bazaar Espana's third issue yet I think they can rival the most established magazines with this simple editorial. After countless exotic settings, homages and fictional characters something as simple as a trend driven studio shoot is a welcome change. And one as lovely as this one is simply refreshing.

I'm not a fan of military style at all, but it is the testament of a great stylist and photographer when I am clamouring to recreate most of these looks. And it is a testament to Daria's versatility and finess as a model. All of her poses are unique, and her hands and feet in the most minutiae positions.  I'm just happy to finally see Daria as Daria, stripped of any frivolous accesories ... its a welcome change in tide. Nothing new or groundbreaking but En Pie de Guerra produces solid results.
