Posh Private Detective Fashion

Vogue Japan December 2012 Inspects Winter's Masculine Style

Titled ‘Dedicated to Nuance,' this editorial is featured in the Vogue Japan December 2012 issue.

Malgosia Bela brings an air of mystery as she dons the masculine womenswear that dominated runways this past season. Adhering to the title's suggestive nature, the color palette in these captures is one of muted neutrals as styled by George Cortina. Sleek textile takes over the garment story with design that nods to minimalism and masculine silhouettes.

Given the amount of menswear-inspired separates, the styling in this piece points to a wearable take on an imagined private investigator style. With updated overcoats and posh accessories, the private eye look gets an haute makeover in this Vogue Japan December 2012 editorial. ‘Dedicated to Nuance' was captured by Willy Vanderperre, who connects with Malgosia Bela to showcase the allure of secrecy.
