Simple, but oh so sexy

Sunday Herald Sun

Home and Away beauty Tessa James was transported back in time this week to the 1940s to celebrate the coming premiere of Channel 7's World War II epic series The Pacific.

Styles from the times are making a comeback, with designer labels including Aurelio Costarella, Karen Walker and Thurley incorporating 1940s influences in their winter ranges.

"I love how understatedly sexy the 1940s can be," Ms James said.

"I love the red lips and the simplicity and elegance of it."

The 18-year-old Melbourne-born beauty jumped at the chance to sport some of the latest looks.

"Fashion is my other love apart from acting," she said.

The Pacific, a 10-part $200 million mini-series produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, was shot on location in Melbourne, the You Yangs and other parts of Australia.

The Railway Hotel in South Melbourne was one of the local locations and the scene for this exclusive fashion shoot for the Sunday Herald Sun.

The Pacific premieres on Channel 7 on April 14.
