Summer is all about road tripping, but that doesn’t mean your whole uniform has to be cut-offs and a beater. The very 80s silhouette of Balmain’s drummer boy coat is the perfect contradiction to the Western-like roadside diner in the background. Shot by Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin, this photo grabs my attention immediately. Daria Werbowy’s hard pose doesn’t distract attention away from the scene, but rather intensifies the look and feel of a deserted country road. I’m not a huge fan of the ripped, dirty jeans, but they look fantastic here with stilettos and the structured jacket. I’ll have to keep this in mind the next time I’m packing for a long weekend.
