This WSJ Magazine Spring/Summer 2014 style shoot shows a mix of mascaline-inspired garments with some feminine pieces in almost-all black.
Fashion photographer Gregory Harris snaps up this sleek shoot. Model Caroline Brasch Nielsen sits in different positions in a sharply designed room. One wall has a mirror on it and the others are painted a dark blue. The carpeting is white and the chairs and desk are have a dark wood finish.
Combined with Caroline Brasch Nielsen's sullen face, this WSJ Magazine Spring/Summer 2014 photo series could be telling multiple different stories. Maybe she is a business woman who refuses to leave her office until she comes up with a way to save her corporation. Maybe she is a spy who was captured and is being held in this room until she talks about her mission. Or maybe, she's just waiting impatiently for a pizza to be delivered to her office.
