Model Ursula Konina rocks some well-tailored fashion in this editorial for the Playing Fashion November 2010 issue. Photographer Alina Kochkarova captures Konina in [suits, separates and dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/after-hours-collection) curated by stylist Alexandra Podporinova.

Each outfit plays with proportion in some way.
