Rag Report dives under the covers of fashion publications to rant or rave about all the glossy goodness.
Vogue brings the world of Avatar to US newsstands this month in its March 2010 editorial “The Warrior Way,” featuring model Daria Werbowy.
Warrier model Daria Werbowy
The 9-page spread, photographed by David Sims, successfully combines the ethereal essence of nature and ethnic beauty with the bold, strong spirit of a warrior. Werbowy shows effortlessly chic style with tribal print dresses and skirts in fluid, detailed fabrics. In this spread though, the accessories definitely steal the show. The strongest shot features a fashionable, but not practical, Gucci dress with a metal harness that instantly evokes a tough-girl attitude.

And what would a warrior be without armor? The Comme des Garcons shoulder pads and belt give this otherwise-mundane Blumarine tie-dye dress some much-needed personality and punch.
Loving the McQueen shoes
Our resident Amazon woman is made even tougher with the iconic Armadillo platforms by the late, great Alexander McQueen (another great fashion tribute). The hard-looking shoes are then greatly contrasted by a softer, more feminine look in a following shot, featuring a wonderfully-detailed, beaded green silk dress by the late genius.
McQueen's nature-inspired genius
Overall, the composition of the spread works not only because of a great setting that complements the clothes well, but also because of the attention to detail. Having Werbowy don cornrows and tribal tattoos really completes the look and makes the entire theme believable and beautiful.
