Candice Swanepoel takes to the Monument Valley with the 'American Splendor' editorial for US Harper's Bazaar August 2013

Most known for her work as a Victoria's Secret model, Candice Swanepoel explores fashion's new heights with a unique editorial for US Harper's Bazaar, August 2013 edition. The 'American Splendor' editorial is lensed at the Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park in Utah, by renowned fashion photographer Terry Richardson. Fashion editor Andrew Richardson has styled the blonde model in a series of expensive looks in pastel colours, which stand out against the south-west landscape. Candice wears the designs of Alexander McQueen, Nina Ricci, Dior, Blumarine, Bottega Veneta, Chanel, Prada, Christian Louboutin, Emilio Pucci, Saint Laurent, and others, and looks ravishing. While some shots are breathtaking, other shots have Candice looking like a plastic Barbie doll lost in a picturesque landscape. Sofia Vergara is the cover girl of US Harper's Bazaar August 2013 issue.
