This Vogue Italia February 2014 style story shows us you don't need a little black dress when you can have a little black suit.
Fashion photographer Yelena Yemchuk captures this sleek and stylish shoot. Model Hilary Rhoda rocks different looks in each image. She wears a different quirky wig for each look. Most of the wigs are short and sassy in different colors.
The overarching fashion theme in this chic Vogue Italia February 2014 pictorial is outfits that look like a men's suit. Every garment of clothing is in all black. While some of the items are literal suit jackets, others are dresses that are inspired by suit jackets. For instance, in one shot, Rhoda wears a long-sleeved black dress that has a collar which looks like a suit lapel.
