The observer may at first be certain that she's looking at an authentic 1970s photo shoot, but actually Glam Slam by Mariah Jelena is a convincing contemporary replica of a retro editorial. Together, stylist Andrew Zumbo, makeup artist Dylan Senthilan and hair stylist Lyndal Vile worked quite cleverly to dress these girls in [stunning flashback fashions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rendezvous-ivory).

Sparkling golden gowns with skintight long sleeves are pictured next to high-waisted tapered pants and skirts. Wide-brim hats and [chunky colorful earrings and bracelets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintageinspired-jewelry) beautifully complement [bright orangey-red lipstick](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign) and natural tumbling curls.

While models Emily Thomas and Grace Moore exude a convincing air of vintage vixens, the Schon! #13 feature goes deeper than that. Glam Slam by Mariah Jelena is shot amidst a domestic setting of antique furnishings and fittings and each image is washed with a grainy filter to suggest age.
