Club Monaco is a fashion retailer and brand known for its cool sophistication and laid-back sense of luxury. This is evident in the latest lookbook for the Spring 2015 season. Although shot completely in black and white, the monochromatic looks stand out all the more of it. Simple yet full of layers, Club Monaco proves that being subdued doesn't mean a lack of creativity or style as well.
The Club Monaco Spring 2015 lookbook was shot in studio by photography duo Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin. It stars Kati Nescher and Paolo, who are clad in pieces inspired by the 70s. Caroline Belhumeur, Club Monaco creative director and senior vice president of women’s design, states that “the 70’s are always a source of inspiration” for the brand.
