The L'Officiel Italia December 2014 editorial titled "Knitted Sensuality" displays an assortment of warm, winter looks to readers. Model Maria Loks sported the looks before a grey backdrop and flowing waters, making the entire set appear relaxed and informal.
Stylist Tanya Jones is the mastermind behind this L'Officiel Italia production. In line with the title of the series was her incorporation of tie up sweaters, ribbed turtlenecks and wool flared pants.
Layering is central to all of these pieces. In the images taken by photographer Amit Israeli, Loks wore multiple items within the same ensemble, giving way to thick, heavy outfits that will be sure to keep women cozy. This manner of dress can also be easily manipulated by those who wish for lighter styles.
