Oliver Twist has been transformed into a fashion statement in this Vogue Paris February 2014 pauper pictorial.
Photographer Lachlan Bailey snaps up this shoot with the beautiful streets of Paris France as the backdrop. Model Kati Nescher moves around the city doing various things. She rides a bike, stands on a barrel and hangs out by the river -- clearly it is a very productive day.
The fashion in this Vogue Paris February 2014 fashion shoot looks a lot like something a street urchin would wear, except that it oddly looks really stylish. An almost-ever present pageboy hat set the tone of the style and the other garments follow suit. Brown lace-up boots, oversized sweaters and a belt made of rope all make the model look like she just got kicked out of a Victorian era orphanage. She even has a scruffy little dog with her.
