To some, ruffles may seem locked up in the 70s or even the Elizabethan era, but the Harper's Bazaar en Espanol May 2013 editorial shows that they have been updated to reflect more modern times. While the ruffled button-down shirt does make an appearance, the statement-making gowns and androgynous undertones will certainly appeal to contemporary sensibilities and tastes.
The Harper's Bazaar en Espanol May 2013 editorial was shot by photographer Benjamin Kanarek. Aptly titled 'Ruffles,' it stars model Sasha Luss. The blonde beauty was outfitted to look like a blend between a flamenco dancer and a matador. She was styled by Vanessa Naudin. The bold ensembles were perfected by hairstylist Tie Toyama and makeup artist Corinne Gues.
