The Pop Magazine Armani 80 editorial incorporates a series of long, draping looks. Models Vivian Solari and Leonardo Rousseau sported the loose apparel, all of which was taken in and delivered to viewers by the lens of photographer Harley Weir.
Central to Weir's images was his capture of free flowing apparel. Instead of putting together sultry, tight fitting ensembles, both Solari and Rousseau wore baggy pieces that leave much to the imagination.
Showcased via the oversize outfits were backless ballroom gown dresses, couture beaded shawls, wrap up skirts featuring chaotic prints, harem pants and long, floor-length capes. Evidently there is much to pick and choose from, especially for those who appreciate generous cuts and fabrics.
