Opulent 70s Styles

Ayten Alpun Channels the Disco Era for Marie Claire Turkey May 2011

If this editorial for Marie Claire Turkey May 2011 is any indication, the 70s are back in full swing this summer. Photographer Ayten Alpun and stylist Hakan Ozturk combined their creative efforts to transform model Michelle into a 70s disco diva. The opulent fashion featured in the editorial comes from the likes of Miu Miu, Yves Saint Laurent and Gucci, and includes rich jewel tones, metallics and a handful of vibrant neon hues.

One theme seen in this editorial is the return of jumpsuits; here, they're modernized with rope ties and harem pants. Hairstylist Ibrahim Zengin gave Michelle's hair a bit of a frizzy curl that's restrained at the part, while makeup artist Ali Riza Ozidemir chose to focus on the lash line and highlight the mouth with a deep red lip.
