It can be argued that denim is the material of summer and with that a ton of magazines have taken up the challenge of inspiring women to stock up for the season; the approach of this ELLE Vietnam March 2014 editorial is slightly different. It introduces a mix-and-match style that pairs jean shorts with underboob-revealing sequinned tops and denim button-ups with short leather skirts. Essentially, it embraces the racy side of denim.
The ELLE Vietnam March 2014 editorial was shot in studio by photographer Stockton Johnson. Titled 'True Blue,' it stars model Ali Stephens. The brunette beauty was clad in the likes of Herve Leger by Max Azria, Jean Paul Gaultier and Calvin Klein by stylist Jen Patryn.
