Vogue Russia organized a unique photo shoot in Armenia, managing to take several thousand photos within just three days, the magazine reports.

David Mushegain first visited Armenia a few months ago and was overwhelmed by the beauty of his historic homeland. So when the magazine asked him to shoot ethnic outfits for Russian Vogue, he suggested going to Yerevan. Joining him from California was his friend, Victoria's Secret angel Stella Maxwell, one of today's most famous models in the industry.
