This i-D Pre-Spring 2014 photo shoot is oddly innocent, and yet no less chic.
Fashion photographer Alasdair McLellan snaps up this sweet yet seductive pictorial. Most of the images are in black and white, except for one that is made to look like a roll of negatives from a camera. Model Edie Campbell poses up against the backboard of a bed. Campbell acts a lot less adult than most models do, as she sucks her thumb in some of the images.
Despite the thumb sucking, this i-D Pre-Spring 2014 is actually pretty chic. Most of what Campbell wears are tanks tops or lingerie, things that you would usually wear while lounging in your room. One item she wears in a few of the images is a black lace bandeau bra, which anyone would want to lounge in. There are also some more formal clothes, like a brown plaid suit and a white sequin-embellished top under a black blazer.
