How to be a modern day mermaid

Written by Tania Braukämper.

Not literally. Science hasn’t come that far just yet. But how to create an enigmatic mermaid look without the sequin paillettes and sweeping fish-tail gowns? Slink from the sea in clinging sheer net fabrics and strong, dark eyes. She’s far from the traditional underwater creature, but Yana Karpova just has a siren-like beauty in this pictorial for L’Officiel Russia.

Some people's wardrobes are about a small selection of pieces that all fit within one aesthetic - Tania Braukamper isn't such a person. With a wardrobe that spans three different rooms, her approach to fashion is a mixture of current-season key pieces mixed with vintage finds she's sourced on innumerous shopping trips around the world's more cultured capitals. Despite a disparate approach to shopping, Tania is adamant that the key to mixing vintage with new season is to stick to key looks and colours that work for oneself. And it's a theory that she works into her writing for Fashionising.com, where she serves as the publication's Editor.
