The WSJ Magazine 'Strange Girl in a Strange Land' editorial stars 'Hart of Dixie' actress Jaime King. Deceptively demure, she poses in front of New York-born photographer Stephen Shore's lens for a photoshoot that is slightly off, although it is hard to put a finger on exactly why that is the case. According to the magazine, "A disquieting restless underlies the spring collections, with pleated skirts, cinched waists and saccharine midcentury prints that aren't quite as ladylike as they appear."
Styled by Tiina Laakkonen, there is one thing that is not strange in the WSJ Magazine 'Strange Girl in a Strange Land' editorial; clad in colorful pieces from such fashion labels as Prada, Balenciaga and Proenza Schouler, the American beauty gives a modern twist to the retro-inspired outfits. The editorial was shot in Los Angeles, California.
