Pastel colors are often associated with little girls and feminine ladies, but the L’Officiel Ukraine May 2014 cover shoot shows that doesn't have to be the case at all. Instead, this pale color palette can be used in a tough and edgy way as well. Whether that involves contemporary cuts, skin-revealing silhouettes or avant garde patterns, it is hard not to look twice at the strong independent woman wearing these outfits.

In this case, that strong and independent woman happens to be model Viktoriya Sasokina, the L’Officiel Ukraine May 2014 cover shoot was shot in studio by photographer Takahiro Ogawa. The blonde beauty was styled by Anna Katsanis in pieces from the likes of Elie Saab, Jason Wu and Prabal Gurung. They are perfected with gems from Cantamessa and De Grisogono.
