When wardrobe options seem to escape you, why not try looking through your parent’s wardrobes for inspiration? The models in the Bon Magazine Spring Summer 2011 issue look as if they’ve done just that -- searched through the vintage finds of an elder's closet.
UK photographer Ben Weller captures adolescent models Agnes Karlsson, Linnea Regnander, Jesper Larsson and Kristian Akergren in a series of grown-up photographs for the Bon Magazine Spring Summer 2011 issue. Fashion director Marcus Soder styled the models in subtly oversized attire, giving the vibe that the kids are home for the summer and asking to be treated as adults. Blazers, turtlenecks and cable knit sweaters appear very mature for these young but stern-faced models.
The Bon Magazine Spring Summer 2011 issue highlights bold colours and refreshing options for this season's pattern-free fabrics.
