The Edita Vilkeviciute Vogue Paris editorial is as true a representation of boxing (or any other sport for that matter) that has been found in fashion magazine's lately. Gone is 'sport-inspired' style; in its place is actual sports attire, from Nike socks to sports bras. Instead of interpreting the sporty look for something a little more glamorous, this editorial gets right into the heart of athletics and boxing.
Lensed by New York-based photographer Lachlan Bailey for the magazine's April 2012 issue, the Edita Vilkeviciute Vogue Paris editorial is filled with sweaty close-ups to better showcase the beauty looks and accessories. The Lithuanian beauty was styled by Geraldine Saglio, who matched the sporty spring looks with masculine watches. James Pecis braided her hair while makeup artist Sally Branka gave her a natural look.
