Kirsi Pyrhonen | Tim Walker | Vogue UK December 2011 | 'An Awfully Big Adventure'

 Kate Phelan styles Kirsi Pyrhonen on location in Mongolia on ‘An Awfully Big Adventure’, lensed by Tim Walker for British Vogue’s December issue. The story mixing the traditional with contemporary fashion, authenticity Walker-style is the main message. Sporting outlandish makeup by Petros Petrohilos and electrifying hair by Duffy, Kirsi is half bird-woman in Mongolia’s rarified, earthly paradise.
