This particular issue of the February 2011 Collezioni Bambini Magazine was compiled for Russian readers as another biannual edition, and features a collection of outfits for young children that embody a free-flowing and casual comfort, with all of the elaborate detailing and conscious structure of ensembles loved by adults.
Harten photographed these adorable countryside spreads with a handful of fair-haired 5 year olds. Styling by Bob and Jackie Gibbs gives each image a studied sophistication that is surprising amidst such youthful subjects. 'Once During the Sunset' succeeds to compare with couture editorials and offers an added softness that may make you swoon.
