The ELLE Vietnam 'Sac Pastel' editorial is all bubblegum pink and baby blue. This girly palette accentuates the Barbie-like aesthetic of the photo shoot's fashion and styling. Model Naty Chabanenko herself looks like a modern-day Barbie with her platinum blond hair with pink tips and retro-fied blue eyeshadow. The neutral colors of the outfits add both a whimsical and contemporary touch to the editorial.
Captured by Guyana-born, New York-based photographer Kevin Sinclair, the ELLE Vietnam Sac Pastel editorial is set to appear in the magazine's April 2012 issue. The Ukrainian beauty was styled by Andrew Holden, who chose a chic wardrobe that features pieces from such labels as Aquascutum, Pringles of Scotland and The Row. The elegant ensembles were finished with hair by Yoichi Tomizawa and makeup by Nam Vo.
