Annie Leibovitz recalled her shoot on Lauren Hutton's family land in Oxford, Mississippi (in an interview for Fashion Flash Magazine in 1984): '[Hutton] was finishing up her career as a fashion model and going into acting at the time . . Originally, I had planned on shooting her in water. Just a natural study. There was a little lake on the edge of her family’s property. We were about ready to shoot in the water and there was this mud over to the side. We decided to have her lie in the mud. It’s such a great metaphor for her because she’s wearing the earth instead of Oscar de la Renta.'
