Pretty in Paris: Eva Downey for Elle Romania

High Contrast in Fashion Magazine's May Issue
If you’re a devoted LuLu*s follower, you’ve probably noticed that we’re more than just a little bit obsessed with black and white at the moment… and it appears we are not alone. We’ve found a kindred spirit in Canada’s Fashion Magazine, as this eye-catching editorial spread can attest. Striking stripes of black and white mingle with bold pops of red for an absolutely mod-velous ode to our chromatic crush, shot by photographer Chris Nicholls. Add model Samantha Rayner’s bold, bowl-meets-bob cut by Greg Wencel, and we simply cannot look away. So take in the sights of this visually stunning spread, and once you’re through, why not indulge yourself in a little something striped?

It Girl: Jemima Kirke
You may know Jemima Kirke from HBO’s hit show Girls, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg for this It Girl! Not only does she rock it as an artist and an actress, but we love Kirke for her uber cool and carefree fashion sense.Boho Beauty: With her long locks full of beachy waves, and an apparent love for crushed velvet and printed silks, Jemima Kirke is a true Boho beauty! With a look that’s often ethereal, but with a touch of rock and roll, she would surely fit in at your favorite festival.
About Face: Kirke tends to rock a more natural look by sporting a perfectly stained pout while going easy on the eye makeup.
Artistic Vision: Jemima Kirke fell into acting by accident and considers herself an artist first and actress second, her main squeeze being oil and watercolor portraits. In a recent interview with the Huffington Post, Kirke says that her particular style of painting “keeps the reaction immediate and free. Working this way allows me not to be exacting or to second guess myself.”
Character Counts: The character “Jessa” on Girls is based on Kirke herself, and she openly admits to her time spent as a wild child. At age 27, Kirke is now married and a mother of two, with successful careers as both an artist and actress.
