'A Flirt in a Skirt' in T Style Spring 2011 features model Hailey Clauson as a retro-modern housewife of sorts. In the editorial, Clauson sprawls on an industrial kitchen floor with pots and pans, brandishes a prep bowl full of squash and gourds, takes a peanut-butter break atop a commercial kitchen fridge and laughs on the phone -- all while wearing this season's fashion from the likes of Christopher Kane, Yves Saint Laurent and Stella McCartney.
Hailey Clauson's perfect beehive, knee-length hemline and oversized eyewear channel 50s and 60s chic, but 'A Flirt in a Skirt' in T Style Spring 2011 is anything but dated. Photographer Walter Pfeiffer and stylist David Vandewal modernize the retro aesthetic with pink hair, mismatched shoes and perfectly-smudged Barbie makeup. See the gallery above for more images from the editorial.
