Daria Strokous | Mariano Vivanco | Vogue Russia November 2011

Daria Strokous is the femme fatale eternal, muse and earth goddess — except for the black lace, of course. Goddesses didn’t have black lace, although married women began veiling their faces in Sumerian culture, about 10,000 bc.

Mariano Vivanco, who captures sensual paradise as well as any photographer around, turns his lens on Daria and male model Vladimir Averyanov for Vogue Russia’s November 2011 issue. Fashion editor Katerina Mukhina chooses sleek beauties with lots of structure, to make a brief sensual style statement that speaks to the centuries.
