If the latest issue of V Magazine doesn’t make you want to raid your grandmother's closet, there’s something wrong with you. The editorial shoot for V Magazine, shot by Sebastian Faena, uses vintage grandma-esque clothes in a seriously cool new way.

The shoot for V Magazine has tight hair up-dos, pill box hats, heavy furs, and more 1920’s inspired styles. If the images don’t make you think of Grandma in her 20s, maybe you can think of a Hepburn girl; either way, it’s a look I love to see.
