Clean and crisp, the Vogue Japan May 2013 editorial has an abstract quality that makes the images appear more like works of art than a fashion photoshoot. Granted, the art direction does suit the structured alabaster ensembles perfectly. Juxtaposed against an architectural backdrop, the understated outfits end up making quite the statement.
Titled 'On a Clear Day,' the Vogue Japan May 2013 editorial was styled by Aurora Sansone. She chose to feature the minimalist designs of such labels as Calvin Klein Collection, Salvatore Ferragamo and Diane von Furstenberg. Modeled on the statuesque form of Othilia Simon, the looks were perfected with gelled twisted locks by hair stylist Seb Bascle and a natural face by makeup artist Topolino.
The Vogue Japan May 2013 editorial was shot by Julia Noni, a photographer based in France.
