Nature's Best - Daria Werbowy

Supermodel Daria Werbowy brings a stunning dose of reality to the pages of Interview Magazine captured by longtime collaborator photographer Mikael Jansson. The Ukrainian/Canadian beauty poses sans make-up for a series of intimate and unretouched black and white portraits. The resulting 20 page editorial showcases the thirty year old industry veteran in all of her natural splendour while on location at Jansson's summer holiday house on an archipelago near Stockholm. Werbowy is simply transfixing as she poses serenely while on horseback, skippering a boat, and communing with nature. The editorial highlights the personal and unique relationship between photographer and muse with Jansson honing in on every crevice of Werbowry's exquisitely lined visage. In the editorial's accompanying interview, Werbowry speaks candidly about her aversion to the industry's obsession with retouching, "I think it looks great to see the real person. I'm not 14 anymore, and I think it's so much more of a celebration of the human existence to see it the real way". Following a career spanning over a decade, Werbowy continues to command the fashion industry's attention with her compelling beauty, model as muse propensity, and her passion for adventure, travel, and the unconventional.
