Photographer Nickolas Lorieux’s photo diary of our Palm Springs road trip
Paris-based photographer Nickolas Lorieux and the Wallpaper* fashion team recently jetted over to Palm Springs to shoot a story for our March 2013 issue, featuring minimalist silhouettes in 1950s pop shades. Here we see the trip through Lorieux's lens...
