Lara Mullen stars in the 'Vive Le Vent Nippon' editorial for Elle France's November 2014 issue.
Fashion editor Tamara Taichman knows that the only color that matters, ever, is black. Not only is it slimming, it will also match your rapidly darkening mood as winter approaches. Matching your outfit to your mood to the weather is some next level fashion styling. Mullen wears combat boots, cropped leather jackets, long sweater dresses, turtlenecks and capes. She looks cozy, warm and downright funereal.
Hair stylist Christoph Hasenbein worked with Mullen's short crop of black hair, while makeup artist Tiziana Raimondo gave her a pale, porcelain face accentuated with bold brows and expert contouring. The editorial was lensed by photographer Takay.
