The Vogue UK January 2015 editorial featuring model Freja Beha Erichsen showcases fresh takes on retro 1970s looks. Photographer Alasdair McLellan produced this chic series with the help of brick walls and stairwells, making the entire series appear urban and casual.
According to the description paired with this Vogue UK photoshoot, the publication aims to highlight ribbed knits, pressed trousers and bomber jackets, all of which are staples most commonly associated with the chic decade.
Stylist Francesca Burns remained true to the throwback era with patterned fur coats, chunky flats and color blocked leather pieces. Given the utility of these items, they are also well-suited to modern day settings given the professional and fashion-forward elements at play in these outfits.
