The pages of September 2012 Numero Magazine feature this stunning editorial titled ‘De Stijl.’
The title translates into ‘the style’ from Dutch, which represents the theme for this editorial: a neoplastic aesthetic. Ideals from the Dutch movement are embodied in this piece as it pictures abstraction with bold primary colors that clash with the monochromatic and simple geometrical lines.
Model Ava Smith is pictured with a short bob, sporting pieces by Miu Miu, Burberry Prorsum, Louis Vuitton and Nina Ricci. She dons sleek separates inspired by feminine menswear and emphasis on tailoring. Captured by photographer Viviane Sassen, the frames boast a monochromatic palette with a clean and sharp finish. ‘De Stijl’ is a fresh take on minimalism for fall with its tasteful approach inspired by art.
