There are many ways to dress boldly in fashion. Many start with wearing bright, saturated colors, especially in the warmer months. For a more advanced take, playing with proportions and shapes offers the chance to elevate style a big step further.

That is exactly the theme of L'OFFICIEL's latest editorial, which was shot in Japan, and centers around a story of sartorial shape-shifting. A model, for example, wears a dress by Jun Takahashi's Undercover that has a trumpet hemline, ruched bodice, and flared out upper. In another image, she wears a mod-reminiscent dress by Celine, which boasts a shorter cut and looser silhouette. Across this series, it's clear that toying with shapes can poetically shift one's fashion aesthetic. Keep scrolling for inspiration through seeing all the looks.
