Model Charlotte Tomaszewska rocks menswear-inspired looks accompanied with slicked-back, bleached hair. Although the wardrobe styling in the Orientalismi editorial could have easily made the model appear too masculine, there are elements to it that add femininity. [Deep, plunging necklines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zhilyova) and slits found in the skirts and pants make the clothing sexy and appealing. Paolo Turina has chosen these [androgynous, yet feminine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sujitha-shivajothi) clothes from labels like Max Mara, and Haider Ackerman. I’m also finding the powder-blue eyeshadow especially striking; it really gives the photos a cool, 1970s vibe.
