Synthetic fur and wool knits usher in the ’70s in “The Landfarers,” a John Cowan Iceland editorial featuring two coats made from Vogue patterns.

The Vogue team ranged across the south of Iceland for the twenty-page portfolio, in which model Cynthia Korman poses in dramatic subarctic landscapes: from black beaches, waterfalls, and the Vatnajökull and Sólheimajökull glaciers, to “the steaming geysers of Krísuvík.” Geothermal energy even gets a shout-out as a force behind the “smog-free” capital.

The Vogue patterns, which close the portfolio, were shot in the shipyard of Njarðvík, not far from Reykjavík. The sleeveless coat (or vest), Vogue 7907, is a shaggy, brown and silver Cresland-Dynel knit by Borg Fabrics. The wrap coat — a Vogue Basic Design, Vogue 2412 — is a ribbed wool jersey by Anglo Knits.
