In the Vogue Italia July 2010 issue, model Kirsi Pyrhonen channels a modern babushka in an editorial photographed by Paolo Roversi.
The title of the shoot translates to (take a breath) “I'm Just A Student Who Occasionally Takes A Plane And Go To Work, And Has A Good Job.†These enchanting photos incorporate high-class headscarves, heavy coats and long skirts to create an alluring look that is all about a reinvented babushka.
Implications - This pattern reinvents clothing that was previously thought of for an older demographic. By creating products that appeal to a younger audience and re-imaging them in a more fashionable way a whole larger youth market opens up for any business. This means that other companies can look to older inspirations to successfully create their products.
