Photographer Cathleen Wolf captures 'Holly Holly,' an editorial that spotlights nostalgic apparel that is 90s-inspired. Model Holly Becker fronts the image series that is styled by Reka Maria Probst. Opting for both retro and conceptual apparel, the stylist experiments with [holographic and transparent fabrics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paranoid-fw25) and also dresses her muse in textured outerwear.

Sporting 90s-inspired pieces like tube dresses and tanktops that are worn overtop fitted tees, model Holly Becker transforms into a retro teen with a flair for clothes that are both chic and comfortable.

Hair and makeup for this image series is courtesy of Linda Sigg who opts for natural tresses and technicolored eyeshadow applications. These include blue and orange eye makeup looks that compliment this photoshoot's nostalgic apparel picks flawlessly.
