Wildfox’s spring 2012 look book brings us gun-slinging cowgirls in the dusty, wind-blown surroundings of the West; but it’s a modern take, where hooped skirts are worn with cropped tees, and pistols are as long as platform shoes are tall.

While the black coaches, veils and dramatic photography by Emir Eralp are a little True Grit, it’s Brigitte Bardot in Shalako that springs to mind as the vintage inspiration behind the ruffled petticoats and bed hair.

If the slogans blazing across the t-shirts in Wildfox’s Wild West are anything to go by, the girls are Wanted and proud of it, they never love a Cowboy, and they most definitely rule the town.

Get your cowgirl boots on, your Bardot bed hair down pat, and go for a thematic stomp through Wildfox’s spring 2012 look book at the gallery above.

Some people's wardrobes are about a small selection of pieces that all fit within one aesthetic - Tania Braukamper isn't such a person. With a wardrobe that spans three different rooms, her approach to fashion is a mixture of current-season key pieces mixed with vintage finds she's sourced on innumerous shopping trips around the world's more cultured capitals. Despite a disparate approach to shopping, Tania is adamant that the key to mixing vintage with new season is to stick to key looks and colours that work for oneself. And it's a theory that she works into her writing for Fashionising.com, where she serves as the publication's Editor.
