Leather-Clad Housewives

Kirsty Hume Rocks Vintage Vixen Fashion for Todd Cole in Paris, LA 6

— May 2, 2011 — Fashion
This editorial of model Kirsty Hume for Paris, LA #6 blends the best of retro housewife fashion and modern leather-clad vixen style on the grounds of a retro-modern home. Photographer Todd Cole, stylist Benjamin Sturgill, makeup artist Darlene Jacobs and hair stylist Michael Long combined their creative efforts to make this vintage noir pictorial truly pop.

The outfits in this Paris, LA #6 editorial are as odd as they are gorgeous. In the first image, for example, Hume wears a white leather bra atop a black leather full-skirted, tea-length gown that cinches her waist with a thick black belt, completing the look with modern black-and-white saddle shoes. The juxtaposition between domina aggression and ladylike innocence is gripping, to say the least.
