It's all about long skirts in this vividly colored Glamour US February 2014 editorial. Visually interesting patterns are mixed with almost-maxi skirts to make outstanding images. Photographer Chad Pitman shoots this series with white, blue, red and yellow blocks in the background, which look like the famous Piet Mondrian painting.
Model Arlenis Sosa looks fierce and fresh at the same time in the Glamour US February 2014 photo shoot. Her black hair is super shorts and tussled on top of her head. Bold cat-eyeliner and nude lips come together to complete the look. Each outfit in this series of images utilizes a long, past the knee length skirt. There are lots of different prints, sometimes two different ones in the same ensemble. Color wise, a running theme is blue and white with the occasional gold.
