With all the models decked out in [vintage-looking apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintageinspired-jewelry), the Jason Kim It Had to be You photoshoot for Bullett magazine is a look at [gorgeously styled romance](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/together-valentines-day).

The styling, done by Jessica Bobince, is loud and vivacious, full of colors and patterns that scream fabulous. The decades represented in this editorial include the 20s, with a man reaching high up his girl's fishnets, the Andy Warhol-inspired 60s with big hair and bold eyes, the 70s with two long-haired dreamy males in [patterned suits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintage-styles), and grungy 80s and 90s with metallics, colored hair and tongue action.

Each photo in the Jason Kim It Had to be You editorial captures a stylish couple in a loving embrace.
