The Elle Norway January 2015 editorial produced by photographer Hordur Ingason displays an eclectic range of structured outerwear. Model Fia Ljungstrom is central to the series which features icy mountains and pristine blue waters.
Stylist Ellen Lofts matched the wondrous backdrops pictured in this Elle Norway series with a striking assortment of coats, vests and turtlenecks. Ljungstrom appeared well-suited to cold temperates via fur fabrics, thick knits and hefty cuts of leather.
Ingason got at the highly structured motifs present in these ensembles with his capture of angular lines and crisp apparel. In spite of the natural scene, these touches make for rather formal themes, making Ljungstrom fit for a variety of settings while clad in Lofts' high end ensembles.
