The [Elle Mexico](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ksubi-by-elle-collection) April 2013 editorial shows women that even if they hold a rather unglamorous job such as teaching that doesn't have to stop them from dressing glamorously. For those who especially want to indulge their love of 'Mad Men' in the real world, the photoshoot illustrates how they can do so in a relatively appropriate way.

Adorably titled, 'Hey, Teacher, Leave Those Kids Alone,' the Elle Mexico April 2013 editorial features a polished, retro-inspired wardrobe comprised of such high-end labels as [Gucci](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/springsummer-2024), Louis Vuitton, Alexander Wang and [Prada](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galleria-handbag). Fashion model Sarah Ruba is captured in typical school settings surrounded by students in these ultra-chic outfits. The Canadian beauty was shot by photographer Yossi Michaeli.
