Dame Of Thrones

Summer just arrived in Berlin and yet it has to step down for fall and the lurking winter. That’s at least the feeling you get when you flip through the September editions of the most powerful fashion reads on the planet. An undisputed favorite this season is Tim Walker’s “Dame of Thrones” from this month’s W. Featuring Kristen McMenamy as a Joan-of-Arc medieval warrior type, this shoot is right out of Game of Thrones dreams (however missing the fuzzy Gethin Anthony).

The medieval theme was one of my favorite trends to come down the runway for Fall ’12 – see Versace, Balmain, Valentino, Haider Ackermann etc.
