The Harper's Bazaar Germany Miss Strange Love editorial offers a modern yet vintage take on classic businesswomen looks. Model Hanne Gaby Odiele appeared much like the classic woman at work albeit with offbeat twists, all of which were selected by fashion editor Kai Margrander.
Put together by Margrander were outfits featuring knee-length leather boots, collared zip up shirts, masculine loose fitting ties and knot collars. While each one of these items could well be expected from many professional settings, Margrander mixed up the lot with high snakeskin boots, see-through dresses and thick geometric jewelry.
Hair stylist Kota Yoshida added to Margrander's eccentricity and bold approach to fashion with curly, overblown tresses stemming from the 1960s.
