The 'A Tous Carreaux' editorial is reminiscent of the model icon Twiggy. Not her signature pixie cut and heavily mascaraed lashes, but the mod British style that she made all her own. These retro outfits embrace the '60s, like many other magazines, that designers and stylists are doing for the new year.
Shot by Takay for the November 2011 issue of Elle France, the A Tous Carreaux magazine spread also has a dash of quintessential London in each look. Flawlessly styled by Tamara Taichman, she focuses on trenches, plaids and more to carefully balance out ensembles that are at once masculine and feminine.
The A Tous Carreaux editorial stars Anabel Van Toledo, and she is stunning no matter what pose she takes.
