Kirsten Owen’s California Cowboy Transformation for Vogue Italia | Subjective

As one of the defining faces of 90s grunge, Kirsten Owen was a favourite for the decade’s avant-garde designers. Still, that didn’t mean Owen was averse to exploring aesthetics outside her comfort zone. With American photographer Bob Richardson, Owen channels her inner California cowboy for the pages of Vogue Italia. In this striking editorial, she embodies a rugged yet romantic spirit, showcasing a fusion of high fashion and Americana that captivates the viewer. Owen discusses the creative process behind this shoot, sharing insights into how Richardson’s visionary approach inspired her to embrace new styles and challenge conventional beauty standards.
