The [americana aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patchwork-americana) can be described as free-spirited, vintage and even feminine at times, but ladylike is not usually used in the same sentence; that is, until the Intermission Magazine Issue 8 editorial was shot. It adds a [touch of elegance](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity) to looks that are synonymous with the heritage of the United States.

From the appearance of the American flag to football shirts and a predominant colorway of red, white and blue, the theme of the Intermission Magazine Issue 8 editorial is undeniable. Shot by photographer John Scarisbrick for the fall-winter 2013 issue, the photoshoot stars model Emily DiDonato. The American beauty was was outfitted by stylist Tom van Dorpe, who pulled pieces from the likes of Tim Coppens, [Dior](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diors-2024-collection) and Miu Miu. The looks were perfected with lush curls and full makeup.
