Until I came across the Jill Stuart Fall 2011 collection and ad campaign, I didn't think that flapper and folk fashion would mix well. To my pleasant surprise, they can; although both influences are rather subtle in this pictorial, they are definitely there.
Shot by fashion photographer Mario Sorrenti, the Jill Stuart Fall 2011 ad campaign stars model Jac Jagaciak. With a simple, yet dramatic spotlight, the color-blocked designs are beautifully highlighted, showing some of the biggest fashion fads for the later half of this year.
The vibrant hues in the Jill Stuart Fall 2011 ad campaign are subdued by an overall earthy palette and whimsical, woodland prints. Sweet, yet sophisticated, this line is suitable for every woman looking to stay cutting edge this season.
