L’Officiel Turkey's March 2015 issue features a Lotte Koolen photoshoot that highlights the season's hottest eyewear looks. Drawing inspiration from the 70s, this image series celebrates rounded and rimless sunglasses along with more architectural and linear shades.
Photographer Tugberk Acar captures the image series and works alongside stylist Asligul Arslanalp who dresses the model in a retro, suede suit. Hair styling for this Lotte Koolen photoshoot is courtesy of Yigithan Demiralp and makeup is the work of Baris Yilmaz.
While Lotte's hair is slicked back in a low ponytail, her makeup is bare-faced and understated. She sports a peachy lip and mascara combo and lets her retro eyewear take center stage by donning cosmetics that are not too over the top in their look.
