The Mirage Magazine ‘Shadows of Memory’ editorial showcases some very sophisticated ‘70s-inspired ensembles. Appealing to the older woman rather than the youthful rebel, this photoshoot was glamorously styled by Chrisna de Bruyn. A brilliant mix of dressy and casual, de Bruyn pairs denim pants with billowing blouses and leather shorts with luxe sweaters. The inspired wardrobe will not be a ‘shadow of a memory’ any longer.

Captured by photographer Willie Ellis for the publication’s latest issue, the Mirage Magazine Shadows of Memory editorial revolves around a simple studio shoot. It stars model Alice Cornish. The British beauty was given lush waves by hairstylist Mari Ohashi and a flawless face by makeup artist Claudine Blythman to finish off the elegant looks.
