The Classics Editorial in Corduroy Stars Kat Hessen in Staple Styles

— May 22, 2011 — Fashion
If you have been looking for a crash course in fashion staples, The Classics editorial is the cheat sheet you've been waiting for. I think that this spread comes at a perfect time as well. The spring season isn't just known for that huge cleaning event, it is also a time to update wardrobes and styles.

The Classics editorial was photographed by Peter Ash Lee and highlights everything from red lipstick to the little black dress and blue jeans. I particularly love how the spread takes a cue from the simple staples shot. This minimalist shoot really shows only what matters.

Styled by Liz McClean, The Classics editorial stars Kat Hessen. It is part of the magazine Corduroy's #8 issue.

1. Fashion Staples - The trend towards fashion staples presents opportunities for developing minimalist or versatile clothing lines that customers see as essential to their wardrobe.
2. Cheat Sheet Editorials - Publishing cheat sheet editorials that break down style essentials could be an innovative way for fashion publications to engage with their audiences and drive sales.
3. Minimalist Photography - Minimalist photography could present opportunities for photographers and fashion brands to showcase their products by simplifying the focus to what matters most.

2. Fashion Design - Fashion designers could focus on creating essential, versatile clothing options that are high quality and durable, to meet the needs of consumers who are interested in building a minimalist wardrobe.
3. Fashion Journalism and Publishing - Fashion journalists and publishers could try leveraging the interest in style cheat sheets to create engaging, educational content that is tailored to the interests of their intended audience.
