Checkered-Themed Fashion Shoots

Frida Gustavsson Poses Playfully in ‘Pretty in Plaid’

— November 1, 2013 — Fashion
Swedish model Frida Gustavsson works grid-like patterns in ‘Pretty in Plaid’  for Greg Kadel in Vogue China October 2013. She rocks the vibrant patterns well and her short, boyish pumpkin locks welcome the season of autumn.

Her checked apparel comes from big fashion companies like Tommy Hilfiger, Dior and 3.1 Phillip Lim. They stand vibrant against her natural makeup and contrasting-colored pixie cut. Captured by photographer Kadel against a bleached-white backdrop, the editorial is fresh, fun and full of exuberance.

Gustavsson sports chic plaid looks from jackets and leggings to accessories like hats and gloves. The super cute and flirty model brings that rustic look back into style by expressing how exciting the retro pattern is and proves that you really can look pretty in plaid.
