Harper's Bazaar (US) - Pastels
06 August 2008

As the autumnal leaves drop and the mornings become crisper, we struggle to protect ourselves from the impending cold and yet still desire to hold onto the fluidity of summer dresses. At last an answer provided by Harpers Bazaar with this shoot. Coats have often being described as “Cocoon-like” and this series of images captured by Solve Sundsbo exemplify this mood brilliantly. 

Take your summery pastel wisps of chiffon dresses and wrap them up in the warmth of a sculptural coat. Steer away from dark, drab colours (plenty of time for that when winter hits!) and ease your way into autumn by keeping the colour palette soft, light and complimentary in shades of butter, cream, mustard, icy blue and powdery pink. - Kate Vandermeer
