Urban Luxe

In between revision time and panic attacks, we decided to sneak in one last photo-shoot. The fact that Vanessa's Missguided order came didn't help, and with my new suit finally made, how could we resist? Anyway, we paired up with our friend Windy to do a lookbook for the couple looking to pull off a sexy, modern flavour to the traditional suit. 

Our first look is a casual elegance, especially seen in Vanessa's power sandals and casual bun. We capture a bolder flavour in the second look by replacing the sandals with white-silver heels and a cascade of hair.

Buzz is wearing a Bespoke Solid Blue Double-Breasted Suit, White Milk Shirts with the cutaway collar and oxfords by Brooks Brothers Black Fleece X Crockett & Jones. Accessories including the Trussardi patterned silk tie, suspenders, textured pocket square by Mr Porter, lapel chain, cufflinks, sterling silver ring from COS, vintage Shanghai watch, Japanese hand-made clear acetate sunglasses and the Ted Baker satchel.

Vanessa is wearing a Missguided black jumpsuit and a pair of leather sandals from Abercrombie & Fitch for the first look, second look with the white snake-print heels from Missguided. Accessories including earrings and pouch from Monki, sunglasses from Illesteva, rings from Brandy Melville, COS and the Beyond Jewelry metallic tattoo.
