The June/July 2014 Russh Magazine editorial featuring Danish model Freja Beha Erichsen provides a rather unkempt look at the Spring/Summer 2014 season. Stylist Gillian Wilkins oversaw the beautifully messy production which features shaggy locks and [oversize apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit).

Photographer Benny Horne proved alongside Wilkins that little is needed to showcase the elegance of Erichsen. With just a [simple black and white backdrop](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25) and no props, Horne focused on Erichsen alone and the ensembles put together by Wilkins.

[Retro motifs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-fw25) are certainly at play in each of Horne's images. Wilkins opted for thick star-studded tops and knits featuring small sparkles that made Erichsen appear fresh off the set of a 1970s film. Yet, given the unassuming nature of the production, they brought the motif to life in a casual manner.
