The L’Officiel Mexico June 2014 editorial may have a basketball influence since it is set at an outdoor court, hence its title 'Courtside,' yet it is a very subtle one. Aside from the appearance of a couple of sneakers and sports-inspired pieces, the looks are very chic and sophisticated. In fact, the minimal and modern designs are much more suited to an office environment.
Starring model Lara Mullen, the L’Officiel Mexico June 2014 editorial was shot by photographer Sevda Albers. The brunette beauty was styled by fashion editor Victoria Sekrier, who pulled the androgynous looks from such labels as ictoria Beckham, Helmut Lang and Lanvin. The monochromatic outfits were perfected with understated beauty by hair stylist Soichi and makeup artist Nobuko Maekawa.
