The Wall Street Journal Knit Picky editorial is being featured in the magazine's May 2015 issue. Model Julia Frauche made the production come across as subdued and relaxed as she posed in stylist Zara Zachrisson's selection of thick sweaters only, an unusual and fresh choice given the warm season that the publication is currently catering to.
Zarichsson matched Knit Picky's assortment of oversize long sleeve tops with minimalist wide legged trousers and oversize denim. When paired with bare feet and simplistic jewelry, Frauche appeared as if at home in her own element.
Photographer Matteo Montanari furthered this at-home aspect with simple natural lighting streaming across Frauche's face. Wall Street Journal is evidently endorsing a done down approach to fashion this spring.
