It seems that this season, women’s wear is all about mixing masculine pieces with feminine touches, and the latest shoot for Lula Magazine Spring 2010 does just that. Entitled ‘To Your Heart from Mine,’ the shoot features throwback pieces like pale pink pant suits, bow-tied button-downs and some serious pleated dress pants.
Captured by Sophie Delaporte, the spread is shot in a soft and ethereal style that works perfectly with model Dolores Doll’s retro hair and makeup and relaxed attitude. Although this shoot is pretty to look at, I feel like it’s a little too old for its time.
