Brunette model Erika Labanauskaite recently posed for Japanese magazine Spur dressed up in ruffled chiffon shirts and pleated mini skirts. The editorial, shot by brilliant photographer Satoru Kikuchi, captures the timeless look of upscale femininity.
In the editorial Labanauskaite posed against the beautiful backdrop of an antiquated mansion. The old-fashioned furniture chairs, sofas and bookshelves all serve as props for Labanauskaite to pose with as she channels a classic look of feminine beauty. Stylist Kayo Yoshida dressed Labanauskaite up in mod garments like long poka-dot dresses, Peter Pan collared blouses and geometric-printed mini skirts. The bright jewel tone coloring of the clothes really pops against the sea foam green tones in the setting. With a fresh-face and a messy ponytail Labanauskaite looks like a curious young girl exploring the rooms of someone's old mansion.
