The Elle Sweden March 2013 Hopelessly Blurred editorial offers an entirely obscured look at model Moa Aberg. Aberg's features come across as distorted as photographer Andreas Sjodin infused each picture with superimposed images of flowers and patterns.
Amid these hazy images were the outfit pairings of stylist Lisa Lindqwister. Lindqister kept the scene basic in the interest of the lighting that was shone upon Aberg, apparent in her thin white lace dresses, swaths of transparent fabric and basic two piece suits. A minimalist motif was further teased out by her black, blue and white color scheme, changing up the vibrant assortment that is commonly seen come spring, a shift that will be appreciated by readers of the magazine.
