Whether it depicts a housewife left at home to whittle away the day in boredom or a scorned lover waiting in a hotel room, a reader won't be able to shake the despondent feeling threaded throughout the Aishti Magazine February 2014 editorial. From the dark lighting to the morose expressions on the woman in question's face, the mood is set.
Yet the fashion in the Aishti Magazine February 2014 editorial brightens things up a tad. Styled by fashion editor Amelianna Loiacono, the outfits have a spattering of bright pastel colors and rich textures that liven up the scenes. Worn by model Masha Novoselova, who posed dejectedly in front of photographer Alice Rosati's lens, the looks do have an undone look about them though.
