The Vogue Germany December 2014 editorial produced by photographer Giampaolo Sgura displays a vintage, aristocratic look at model Kati Nescher. In the cream and black and white-hued images, Nescher appeared much like an upper-class member of 19th century society.
Stylist Christiane Arp brought these elitist motifs to life with oversize sun hats, wooden canes and posh sunglasses. Given the current placement of the photoshoot, Arp also made use of contemporary elements, seen in chunky gloss sandals, tiered oversize jackets and perforated lace dresses.
Whether one finds this look best suited to the past or present, it can nonetheless be appreciated by anyone with an eye for fashion as Arp displayed the evident beauty of flowing skirts and thin bow ties.
