The S Moda August 2014 editorial starring model Aymeline Valade places a masculine meets Parisian twist upon fall apparel. Stylist Francesa Rinciari incorporated the two elements within the ensembles of Valade whose blonde tresses were parted neatly in the middle by hair expert Carol Guzman.
Black wide brimmed hats and thick knee-high socks resonate with outfits that are most often spotted in France. At the same time, Rinciari also incorporated typically male pieces via trousers tied with brown leather belts, loose fitting button up vests, thick knit sweaters and draping trench coats.
While the elements at play in this S Moda feature may typically be at odds with one another, Rinciari has brought them together seamlessly.
