The looks featured throughout the Vogue Russia July 2013 cover shoot are inspired by the Eighties. From the curly mop of hair to the one-shouldered dress and loose-fitting pantsuit, the outfits may have a retro aesthetic, but they have been modernized for the contemporary woman. In a way, they introduce a touch of androgyny for those who like to mix it up a bit.
The Vogue Russia July 2013 cover shoot was lensed by photographer Richard Bush. It stars model Anja Rubik. The blond Polish beauty was clad in sleek outwear looks from such labels as Valentino, Jean Paul Gaultier and Balenciaga by stylist Sarah Richardson. The striking fall wardrobe suggestions were perfected with transformative coif creations by hair stylist Schon as well as a flawless face by makeup artist Kirstin Piggott.
