Previously on Fashionista, we marveled at W's use of Lara Stone.
First, the Dutch model writhed on a cracked ice floor, naked and cozy with a giant fur Fendi (it was bright orange, like a traffic cone).
Next, Lara posed for Juergen Teller, naked and spread-eagle, and splayed on another giant fur (this one was red).
Then Doutzen posed on a bed of leaves, with a teddy bear, also pretty naked.
Now it's Suvi's turn - though she looked so much like Lara that we got confused!
Unlike DK and LH, Suvi actually gets to sit up for a bit - as she's straddled by a bird.
The tableau is a modern take on "Leda and the Swan" - the Greek myth where Zeus comes in bird form to rape a beautiful mortal woman who's vowed to remain a virgin. The result of the assault is Helen of Troy, who is birthed in a golden egg.
We love that W mixed Lanvin and J. Crew, and we love mythology references, but we wonder:
How many other submissive poses - with fur or feathers - will W whip up?
Also:
Is that a tattoo like Gisele's on Suvi's hand?

The Leda and the Swan theme is rather cliched.
