The fashion industry seems set on reviving the retro styles from every era between the 90s and the 20s, smack dab in the middle is the Meghan Collison Vogue Russia editorial, which centers around the 50s. Although inspired by classic pin-up girls like Bettie Page, this photo shoot takes a funky turn when it comes down to the details.
Photographer Ben Toms may have stuck to a very traditional backdrop of floral wallpaper and candy-colored home decor when shooting the Meghan Collison Vogue Russia editorial, but the styling is something else entirely. Stylist Kate Shillingford may have stuck to the era's classic silhouettes, but she has focused on pieces with stunning jewel embellishments and contemporary textures that add another dimension to the geek-chic look going on.
