Rag Report: Vogue Italia turns up the glam

Rag Report dives under the covers of fashion publications to rant or rave about all the glossy goodness. 

In the October 2009 issue of Vogue Italia, Sasha Pivovarova lays on the asphalt while looking elegant and chic. In every photo, shot by Craig McDean and styled by Edward Enningful, she is covered in heavy jewelry and embellished tights: trends that are big right now.

Pivovarova, wearing a black wig, lies next to dead leaves and crushed cans. Marvelous. Her body is angled toward the camera giving readers a complete view of what she is wearing. 

The Miu Miu tights are what really catch readers' eyes, though. They're beaded and jeweled to perfection. The outfit she wears does not detract attention away from the tights, which are the main focus. 

However, the shoes should be a topic of discussion on their own - they are fierce with a capital F.

Pivovarova changes to a blonde wig...that’s similar to a bird's nest. We immediately noticed the over-sized jewelry around her neck. The simplicity of her all-black outfit compared to the texture of her tights and jewelry is an effective contrast.

Here again, Pivovarova's body is sprawled out on the road. She wears a fur coat, embellished Miu Miu Fall ’09 tights and killer red heels by Chloé. The dark purple lipstick against her pale skin exudes a regal air that is conveyed through the whole outfit.

Basically, we're in love with the whole embellished, bejeweled spread.
