Fox Harvard photographed Teresa Oman looking like a scholar in this exclusive editorial.
Oman is thoughtful and introspective in each image, quietly considering some existential dilemma or another. Dressed in collared shirts and large, retro-style glasses, chosen by stylist Gerard Pierre Jr., Oman looks like a student back from a particularly stimulating lecture. She contemplates the world around her with a careful, measured intensity.
Oman's bookish look is completed by hair stylist Lan Nguyen and makeup artist Brandie Hopstein, both of whom opted for a natural, low-key look. No fuss, no muss. In Nguyen's case, this meant rumpled low ponytails, and for Hopstein, this meant dewy skin and pink lips. Though understated, the look is absolutely stunning.
