While editorials are a great place to find inspiration for your next outfit, they usually don’t provide tutorials for how to put together certain ensembles; this Harpers Bazaar Spain February 2012 editorial provides an easy breezy high-fashion tutorial.
Lensed by photographer Nagi Sakai, the photo series is a fierce showcase of how versatile one piece of clothing can be. Showing readers nine different ways of wearing a classic Chanel jacket, the Harpers Bazaar Spain February 2012 editorial features model Alina Baikova as she pairs the jacket with everything from skin-tight dresses to bold blue pants. Her slicked-back hair and bold red lips make her look like a former librarian who has just let loose.
Check out this Harpers Bazaar photo shoot for some ideas on how to wear one piece of your wardrobe over and over again in new and exciting ways.
