Mismatched 90s Editorials

The Elle Girl Japan August 2012 Free Photoshoot is a Throwback

— August 10, 2012 — Pop Culture
The Elle Girl Japan August 2012 Charlotte Free editorial brings even more attention to the grungy yet glamorous American model. Free's light pink tips and Nirvana-esque appeal have been at the heart of her spreads with i-D Magazine, Numero Tokyo and 10 Magazine, not to mention her advertisements with Santa Lolla, BLK DNM and Maybelline cosmetics.

The arcades and gritty urban spaces displayed here were selected by photographer Jason Lee Parry. Parry played up on Free's 90s tortured soul looks with chunky lace up shoes, retro print skinny jeans and kaleidoscope patterns.

Elle Girl Japan will certainly get its fill of psychedelic fashion and an unruly attitude here, and who would be better to deliver just this epic pairing than Free and Parry?
