Very few lookbooks can capture [elegance and simplicity](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit) in one shoot, and the Harper’s Bazaar Russia October 2011 is certainly one of them. The shoot exudes charm and sophistication with the right amount of sassiness.

Captured by Alexander Huseby, the spread simply screams retro all over. It features Ukranian model Snejana Onopka posing with smoldering eyes and flair that take over the set. The [black-and-white photos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25) remind me of Princess Diana, who simply exuded a flamboyant royal aura, yet the color photos are similarly captivating.

The fashion donned by model Snejana Onopka comes from the likes of Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Ralph Lauren, Roberto Cavalli and Lanvin. This [retro-inspired shoot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prefall-2026-collection) shows off a sharp balance of sass, class and elegance.
