The US Elle April 2013 Retro Fitted editorial places model Melodie Monrose next to Kone Sindou. The two come across as being romantically involved, captured here for readers on behalf of photographer Mariano Vivanco.
Matched with the talent of Vivanco for Retro Fitted was stylist Beth Fenton. Fenton went for an old school theme, reflected in the title of this US Elle production. This was apparent in each image as geometric patterned sweaters and large oversize glasses were featured, pieces that resonate with classic 1960s looks. A bohemian brand of fashion was also incorporated as Monrose sported loose capri pants, airy two piece suits and long skirts, ensembles that together flowed out in multiple directions.
