A combination of all three, the outfits boast a modern elegance that can be worn in various scenarios. Whether on vacation, heading to a party or attending a work function, the designs are very versatile in spite of all of the detail. Starring model Karlie Kloss, the Vogue Japan 'Thinking Sporty' editorial is set to appear in the January 2014 issue of the magazine.
