The Haper's Bazaar Mexico & Latin America December 2014 editorial featuring model Georgia May Jagger incorporates monochromatic apparel only. Stylists Juan Cebrian and Kristen Ingersoll dressed Jagger head to toe in black and white ensembles that merged flawlessly with a light grey backdrop.
Delivered by way of Cebrian and Ingersoll were crisp white blazers, striped trousers, cut-out leather dresses, two-toned circle skirts and flowing vests. While the apparel was colorless, the outfits are nonetheless striking and captivating.
Given the lack of varying tones, these pieces are quite timeless. The motifs will remain relevant far into the future, especially given their pairing with classic gold adornments. Displayed alongside the monochromatic apparel were stacked rings, bangles and bands, adding a bit of edge to the series.
