Description

Shot by photographer Laura Jane Coulson for WSJ Magazine's 'Playing Dress Up' story, this close crop focuses on vibrant footwear styling against a natural wood plank floor. The composition highlights contrasting textures and patterns, featuring bold green flared trousers draped over lilac and electric blue socks paired with black-and-white polka dot pumps and diagonal striped open-toe heels. Set design by Lester Lloyd and makeup by Thomasin Waite complement the energetic, graphic fashion narrative featuring models Betsy Gaghan, Bebe Parnell, and Jacqui Hooper.
