Edgy Formal Editorials

Laura Kampman Sports Striking Formal Wear for This Harper's Bazaar Series

This sassy editorial for Harper's Bazaar features model Laura Kampman. Though this series definitely has a rocker gal feel to it, Kampman exclusively sports formal attire in these shots. She poses in gowns and sparkly tight dresses, while sprawled out on floors, beds and couches.

Kampman rocks some seriously elegant outfits in this editorial, but maintains a bad girl image at the same time. In one shot, she's smoking while she lays on the floor of a less than glamorous apartment. In another picture, she's seen sitting on a public bench in a less than lady-like manner.

Laura Kampman refuses to dress down in this striking Harper's Bazaar editorial. This formal fashion series will inspire fashionistas to be a little more elegant in terms of their day to day wardrobe choices.
