The Vogue Turkey April 2012 cover shoot is inspired by power-dressing from the '80s. Everything from the hair, straight down to the toes is radically retro. Yet, instead of feeling out of sorts in the flashback fashion, model Lara Stone owns each look, adding another level of boldness to the photoshoot.

The Dutch beauty strikes stoic poses for Turkish photographer Cuneyt Akeroglu in the editorial. Styled by fashion editor Grace Cobb, there is a uniform appeal to each ensemble. Cobb works mainly with middrift-baring bustier tops and colorful pants to create structural shapes that the modern woman would feel comfortable wearing. The full makeup and sheared coif may feel slightly off for modern-day wearers, but it's always worth a shot!
