The Fashionising 'Soft Tailoring' online editorial shows the evolution of androgynous fashion. Instead of focusing on outfitting women in classic menswear that has been tweaked slightly to fit their slender frames, this photoshoot concentrates on feminizing masculine fashion for something a lot more soft but still as tailored (hence the title).
Lensed by photographer Kelly Defina, the Fashionising 'Soft Tailoring' online editorial stars Chadwick Model Management's Chloe. Styled by Mercy Watson, the brunette beauty is clad in floral skirt suits, baggy blazers, black oxfords and more. A mixture of color and grayscale shots, the studio photoshoot is classy with a hint of edge. The looks were perfected with a voluminous updo by beauty artist Vanessa Belle.
