The Marie Claire Australia 'Block Party' editorial focuses on colorblocked outfits. Instead of blatantly bold pairings made for those who like to experiment with edgy ensembles, these outfits are tastefully sophisticated and elegant. The colorblocking technique has been subtly introduced, showing women that they don't have to be loud and eccentric in order to rock the fashion fad.
Lensed by photographer Fabio Chizzola, the Marie Claire Australia 'Block Party' editorial stars model Zuzana Gregorova. Appearing in the November 2012 issue of the magazine, the Slovakian beauty was styled by Kate Harrowsmith. Harrosmith pulled contemporary pieces from the racks of such labels as Josh Goot, Zimmermann, Emporio Armani and Phillip Lim for the photoshoot. The looks were perfected with hair by Benoit Moeyaert and makeup by Eric Polito.
