Retro Looks In The Modern World: West Side Story

As much as the modern fashion world looks forward it also continually looks back in time. Here we explore Retro Looks in the Modern World.

The June/July 2013 issue of L'Officiel Singapore takes us back to the days of pompadours and beehives in it's editorial; West Side Story.  Despite the title, I think it's more fitting of my recent trip to Memphis. Stay tuned for tomorrow's post where I share vacation photos! 

Models: Maggie Vitelli, Silviu Tolu, Aneta Z, Wynston S, and Slava Victorov

Photographers: Chuando and Frey

Some serious hair inspiration here! I love it!
