Marte Mei Van Haaster in ‘Graphic Impact’ by Gregory Harris for Harper’s Bazaar US, 02/13

Posted Jan 16, 2013

Marte Mei Van Haaster feels the ‘Graphic Impact’ of Spring’s hottest trend in the February 2013 issue of Harpers Bazaar US, by Gregory Harris.  Tony Irvine creates a symphony of updated styles with an emphasis on highly structured ‘Mod’ looks.  Embracing the flavor of the original appeal, this contemporary version takes the bold beauty of black & white to it’s ultimate end.  Cool, calculated patterns emphasize the power of geometric shapes, while long, lean lines celebrate the architecture of design.  This season’s ‘Modern Mod’ trend is all about unapologetically severe styles, created with military like precision.  Adding to the structural sensation of this layout, the Wedge Bob hair style is inspired by the original arbiter of Angular Beauty, 70’s hair guru,Vidal Sassoon. With daring cut-outs and avant-garde accessories this much loved vintage style is seeing it’s best reincarnation ever.  So make sure you’re ready to get down and get graphic this year, ’cause nobody likes a Pattern-Pooper.  Source (visual optimism).
