Photographers Karl & Kristof capture 'Soul Souvenirs,' an editorial that spotlights carefully curated vintage apparel picks. Lensed for web publication The Ones 2 Watch, this retro fashion story features MIKAs models Amie J and Mabintou Ceesay who pose amidst outdoors and inside an eclectic loft.

The duo dons thrifty clothing staples with a modern air of sophistication and is styled by Selam Ghirmay Fessahaye. The stylist opts for dynamic, tailored and [sculptural silhouettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-we-take) while experimenting with accessory picks that range from [gilded necklaces to oversized earrings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintageinspired-jewelry).

Hair and makeup for this vintage apparel editorial are courtesy of Sainabou Chune and Johanna Nomiey who bring a fresh-faced and natural beauty aesthetic to life. While this fashion story's hair and makeup embraces natural beauty, its clothing is more playful and eye-catching overall.
