Frida Aasen Stars in the Elle US December Issue

— November 12, 2014 — Pop Culture
Frida Aasen stars in the 'Love Her Madly' editorial featured in the Elle US December 2014 issue.

Fashion editor David Vandewal styled Aasen in a series of convivial retro looks. In one shot, she wears a wool sweater and eslastene pants by Louis Vuitton. In another, she dons a collared crepe dress by Valentino. Throughout the editorial she wears organza frocks and popeline hems; chiffon shirts and shearling coats. It's like the very best of 70s in a single fashion shoot.

Hair stylist David von Cannon gave Aasen straight, but artfully messy, blonde hair and straight-across bangs, while makeup artist Makky P ringed her eyes with several layers of kohl, keeping the lips nude and minimal. The editorial was lensed by photographed Nagi Sakai.
