Supermodel Joan Smalls slays whether in front of  a camera and lights or stomping down a runway. This month Joan shows that her modeling skills are no small potatoes by posing to the death for an editorial for Vogue Japan. Smalls is slinging snowboards as well as pink, red and blue braided ponytails all while in fringe knee-high boots, fur as well as leopard print attire.

We have said it once and will continue to preach how wonderful it is to see color being utilized in fashion during winter. Of course the usual couture forecast during this season involves darker, drab shades so it is refreshing to see vibrancy in this editorial. Take notes and remember just because it’s cloudy and dark outside doesn’t mean it has to take all the fun out of your personal style. Be bold, be you and always have fun.
