The cover of the L’Officiel Ukraine April 2013 issue tackles a few fashion fads that have reared their beautiful heads this year. First of all, it is chicly androgynous. Complete with a slicked back updo courtesy of hairstylist L’Officiel Ukraine and bow tie, the photoshoot takes menswear to a feminine level. Secondly, it introduces a retro element into the mix, which comes in the form of large, round sunglasses and a particular color palette, all of which was chosen by stylist Anna Katsanis.
Part of the 'Suit Up' editorial, the L’Officiel Ukraine April 2013 cover shoot stars model Nikole Luna. The brunette beauty was shot by photographer Ken Pao. Her look was perfected by makeup artist Romero Jennings.
