Tank magazine's 'Imogen in La-La Land' editorial is femininely retro. It is rife with bright colors, bold patterns and flirty fits that are reminiscent of the '40s fashion scene. The seaside and suburban neighborhood settings add to the nostalgic quality of each outfit. These include the vintage car, a pastel-painted home and vintage floor tiles. The sunset scenes add a romantic air to each image.
Lensed by New York and Los Angeles-based photographer Hilary Walsh for the publication's Spring 2012 issue, the Imogen in La-La Land editorial is set on the beaches of California and stars English actress Imogen Poots, hence its title. Stylist Samantha Traina selected pieces from fashion labels such as Dolce & Gabbana, Christopher Kane and Dries van Noten.
