Tuxedos are becoming an increasingly popular fashion choice for women, as we recently saw in Rihanna’s outfit at the Costume Institute Gala benefit. But you know what would be hot? If women took just the cuff part and paired it with some sexy lingerie.
That is the fashion advice of this editorial "Wonderland" in the Fall/Winter 2008/09 issue of H&M Magazine.
The editorial features Estonian model Tiiu Kuik photographed by Swedish photographer Camila Åkrans and styled by Robert Rydberg.
