The Elle France September 2012 editorial combines a space age setting with retro mod fashion for a photoshoot that is part vintage, part futuristic. By mixing and matching these two visually strong elements, the editorial encourages women to have a little fun with their fall wardrobes. The colder months doesn't have to usher in drab and depressing outfits.
Lensed by Marcin Tyszka on location at Pierre Cardin’s Bubble Palace in Théoule sur Mer, the Elle France September 2012 editorial stars model Olga Sherer. Styled by Elissa Cannelle Castelboou, the Belarusian beauty is outfitted in the likes of Stella McCartney, Celine, Louis Vuitton and Chloe. Straight locks by hairstylist Javier Palacio and coral lips by makeup artist Tiina Roivainen finish the '60s vibe.
