The 'Tangled Up in Blue' editorial was styled by the London-based fashionista Rachel Bakewell. The young talent brought her eye for color compilation and textures to render a memorable editorial. The style follows the narrative of a shallow and stiff American motel life. Model Farah Holt stars as the glazed Barbies of the washed-out scene.
Photographed by Brian Daly, each shot encompasses a dreary mood and emphasis on the denim couture. The simple composition and artistic direction of the project reminds of the versatility of cherished fabric. The all-blond look of Farah Holt brightens an all-American perspective on denim.
The Tangled Up in Blue editorial by Rachel Bakewell excites viewers for the coming season of denim, with contemporary patchwork and cropped overalls.
