Harper’s Bazaar's latest [fall fashion editorial](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir) is titled 'The Colors To Wear Now' and highlights a bolder look for the moody season. Instead of dressing model Kati Nescher in muted and heavy pieces, stylist Elissa Santisi opts for chromatic wardrobe staples that include printed frocks, [pastel business suits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vowels-1) and maxi dresses that are worn over collared shirt garments.

'The Colors To Wear Now' editorial graces the September 2015 issue of [Harper's Bazaar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculpting-paste) and is lensed against a chromatic backdrop -- a residence that boasts vibrant walls in pink and blue tones. Makeup for the shoot is courtesy of Karan Franjola who opts for sleek eyeliner applications and fresh-faced foundation picks. This editorial's hair styling is the work of Romina Manenti who creates a shaggy and retro look for her supermodel muse.
