Muse of the hour Graze Hartzel stars in the Saint Laurent Pre-Fall 2014 lookbook. With her brooding, ingenue eyes and full pout, it’s no wonder she inspired something in Heidi Slimane. In fact, he went behind the lens to photograph Hartzel’s girlish beauty himself, in a series of black-and-white images. Her wholesome, All-American vibe offers a fresh twist to the otherwise gritty, Parisian vibe of the shoot.
As for the clothes, the collection is comprised of plunging necklines, slim cigarette pants and flirty frocks, creating the sophisticated bohemian aesthetic than Slimane is known for.
You can see more of Hartzel’s girl-next-door beauty in the Saint Laurent Music Project video, featuring a track by blues artist Curtis Harding. Hartzel’s quiet, unassuming sensuality perfectly accompanies the track, just as it does the collection.
