Photographer Christopher Owens captures 'The Promenande,' a low-key style feature that is captured for online publication The Ones 2 Watch. The image series features styling by Harrier Moiser who dresses the shoot's model star in [understated pieces with a vintage flair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stein).

Hair and makeup for this image series is courtesy of Colleen Carrahar who opts for a look that is fresh-faced and understated in its overall feel. Model Lauren Marshall at Tyne Tees agency fronts the exclusive and pulls off low-key style selects that include high-waisted trousers, mom-approved knits and structured cape blazers.

Overall, 'The Promenade' celebrates the mainstream return of nostalgic styles that are not only understated but also in line with the industry's recent [Normcore obsession](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heritage-core). Standing out in a more minimalist way is the movement's main vision and is a theme in this very image series.
