Emma Watson for The New York Times Style Magazine looks dapper and sophisticated. She is captured by Alasdair McLellan as the new covergirl for the upcoming Fall 2012 issue.
The stylist Anastasia Barbieri has dressed Emma in chic tweed pantsuits, leather dress shoes, embroidered blouses and long fall jackets. Emma's hair has been pulled back into a tight textured bun, and her eyes are lined with a thick eyeliner. The masculine garment styles combined with Emma's pulled back tresses create an androgynous look that is debonair and composed.
Alasdair McLellan is a British photographer focusing on print and film who works with Art Partner, a leading artist agency. He photographs for popular brands including Topshop, H&M, Lucky Brand, Vogue and Louis Vuitton.
