In a collaboration seemingly as fitting as vodka and soda, the premium French vodka brand teamed up with the renowned French fashion editor to launch the spring issue of the CR Fashion Book – one of the world’s most internationally renowned style publications and bible for all things chic.

The dress code du jour? Sunshine yellows, natural shades of green, spring-ready blue denim and a modern floral take on the corset trend. It’s not just stylish, but incredibly fitting – not just because the first signs of spring are finally here, but because of the theme of the new issue: “Mother Nature”.
