Nylon Magazine's February 2010 'Paris, Je Te Aime' spread for their February 2010 issue makes style look easy with their laid-back fashions. Ripped stockings, lace-up boots and endless layers are taking me back to the early 90s days of Doc Martens.
The models look perfectly un-put together in this casual snapshot-styled spread. Check out more shots from the Nylon Magazine February 2010 'Paris, Je Te Aime' editorial in the gallery above.
