[STYLE IN SPADES]

Because you asked so nicely…

My opinion of the latest ELLE Magazine UK photoshoot:

“Wool & silk dress by Prada”

.

The dress is alright. I can see how Anne-Marie Curtis may have been trying to create an interesting contrast between Kristen’s tomboy mannerisms and the super girly ruffle dress. Actually, most of the looks in this shoot are soft and feminine.

.

“Beaded cashmere cardigan by Clements Ribeiro. Suede and metal shorts by 3.1 Phillip Lim. Wool socks by Prada.”

.

Suede and metal 3.1 Phillip Lim shorts sound like a good idea, but as you can see from the photo, they’re a little awkward.  Both the most interesting and least flattering photo of the bunch.

.

“Wool playsuit by Vanessa Bruno. Wool socks by Prada.”

.

Love all the Prada socks.

.

Silk top and tweed skirt, both Dolce & Gabbana. Wool socks by Vanessa Bruno.

.

The prints and textures don’t exactly go together, but they work for a photoshoot. If this was printed in color I think it would have been too busy.

.

Wool jumper, leather and wool shorts and leather belt, all by D&G. Wool socks by Vanessa Bruno.

.

I love this jewel tone look. The shorts are a bit strange (and I have a feeling that if she was posed in any other way, they would like like a diaper), but the outfit as a whole is very interesting and the materials look luxe.
