The monochromatic fashion fad currently being encouraged by almost every fashion publication out there has been given a boyish twist in the Vogue Thailand April 2014 cover shoot. Yet the menswear-inspired looks are more than tomboyish, they are chic and sophisticated with clean cuts and sharp silhouettes.
Styled by Morgan Pilcher, the Vogue Thailand April 2014 cover shoot showcases everything from leather vests to flared pants and military-inspired outerwear. The sleek outfits were modelled on Iris Strubegger. The short-haired beauty posed regally in front of photographer Simon Cave's lens for the studio photoshoot. Captured against a soft gray backdrop, the black and white looks stand out beautifully. A cool look for the spring season, women will instantly look they have their act together in this wardrobe.
