The 70s secretary look never seemed so stylish before this Vogue Italia January 2014 pictorial. Photographer Emma Summerton captures this retro styled shoot with the subject sitting at a round wooden table while surrounded by crumbling concrete walls. Every shot has model Sam Rollinson rocking a different hair and makeup look. One thing that stays consistent is that all the hair is unabashedly 70s-styled. There is even a Farrah Fawcett.
It’s not just the tresses that are decidedly nostalgic in this Vogue Italia January 2014 shoot. Bold colored blouses with sweaters over top of them make for an eye-catching look that screams ‘bored secretary.’ The stylist was not afraid of the outfits clashing by brashly pairing three different colors together at a time or even a sequined dress with a sweater and a collared shirt.
