The ELLE Ukraine July 2013 editorial puts an exotic twist on the rustic theme that has been embraced by many industries of late. Green foliage brightens up brown ground while the fashion mixes prairie aesthetics with regal accents. In fact, it could almost seem as though a modern Cleopatra has taken refuged in the mid-West.
Starring model and actress Milla Jovovich, the ELLE Ukraine July 2013 editorial was shot by photographer Eric Guillemain. The dark-haired beauty was outfitted by stylist Marine Braunschvig, who focused on neutral colors, lacy textures and easy silhouettes. She pulled the elegantly feminine pieces from the likes of Valentino, Louis Vuitton and Lanvin. The nature-complementing looks were perfected with short tousled tresses by hair stylist Ramona Eschbach and a flawless natural face by makeup artist Sabina Bedrani.
