Harmonia by Lena Kholkina tells the story of a young girl who never leaves her house, but fantasizes about about discovering the world around here. The editorial has a vintage, antique and post-war feeling to it with the pastel wall paper, wooden designs, bookshelves and old school chairs.
The model by Sonya at Al Model Management wears 50s to 70s-inspired clothes styled by Elena Zichon and Lena Kholkina. They have adorned the model in beaded headbands, sheer and lace tops, Indian Jones-like hats and floral dresses.
The photographer Lena Kholkina has captured the model around the house, sitting at the table, on her bed and in the study room. The photographer creates a series full of dim lighting and misty vintage captures that closely resemble the film the Virgin Suicides.
