For the latest issue of Elle Magazine, model Madisyn Ritland channels the 70s by wearing lots of mustard yellow, some giant hats, and a whole lot of free-spirited styles.

The Madisyn Ritland ‘Electric Company’ Elle shoot was done by Yelena Yemchuk and is a fun [70s-inspired](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Anna-Suis-SpringSummer-2025) vixen spread, complete with enough [faux fur](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alyson-eastman) to fill your hippy heart with joy. Fun to see the resurgence of [free-spirited clothing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren), and this is a good example of it!
