A tribute to the trippy 70s era, 'Mod Love' by Elle Canada boasts an air of Sargent Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band allure.
The editorial season has seen a devotion the head-to-toe prints seen in runways like Prada and Louis Vuitton. The amount of publications that showcase the trend is countless, yet the October 2012 Elle Canada's take on it is surprisingly refreshing. With dizzying prints in all shades of the rainbow, the kaleidoscopic garments featured in this spread are the crême de la crême from the fall runways.
Model Valeria Efanova dons groovy looks as dreamed up by stylist Sara Bruneau. Photography duo Leda & St.Jacques capture the far-out aesthetic of this fashion story with hypnotizing technicolor finish. This piece has the rare quality of seeming musical as it reminds of the timeless tunes of the Beatles and is beyond inspirational.
