Vannessa Moreira stepped in front of Dan Martensen’s lens for the Elle Italia October 2013 spread. Moreira sticks to cozy, casual knitwear – primarily oversized sweaters, cardigans and leggings from designers Simona Barbieri, Tru Trussardi and Ermanno Scervino.
She proceeds to relax in these fashions: peeking over her autumn read, brushing her teeth curled up on the sink, licking her fingers over a leftover dessert in front of the fridge or strumming an acoustic tune. Although all of these tasks err on the side of ordinary – dare we say boring – the doe-eyed South American beauty looks fabulous, sporting asymmetrical bangs and a tousled bedhead styled by Italo Gregorio and minimal makeup by Justine Purdue.
The Elle Italia October 2013 editorial makes us want to curl up in these incredibly soft, luxurious sweaters with a cup of hot tea and good book.
