The Elle Finland January 2013 Last Lap editorial showcases an upscale style of grunge. Model Kirsi Pyrhonen looks candidly at the camera in upscale tweed blazers while sporting disheveled hair and short skirts, offering a distinctive merger between the two seemingly opposing looks.
Stylist Sakke Hytonen took to long pea coats and elegant scarves for Elle Finland's Last Lap. Sunglasses and hats proved to be accessory staples, adding to the dramatic play of urbanite chic upon classic ladylike apparel. Photographer Jesse Laitinen tied the ends together quite nicely, making it appear as if by accident that the outfits were assembled in a juxtaposed manner. The January 2013 edition of the publication will display the entire production, starting the new year off on a brave foot.
