Natural light from the window on the left. Nothing special there.
The processing is what gives it the coloring. Cross processing with possible some reddish brown layers set at different layering options to give it a more vintage coloring with level adjustments and possibly some saturating of the blues.

I have the Elinchrom Octa 190cm, that should be big enough and with both layers of diffusion, soft enough?
The window light in the photo looks like it's from a larger source than that. Also, I think there was a large white wall adding fill.
The best way to get the look of window light is to use window light. Next would be a large flat with the light bounced from it. The Octa in close with enough natural fill (flat or reflector) might work.

so without a large window, I can just use a large softbox on low?
That may come close, but if you look at the sample photo you'll see rim light coming across her knee from behind left, as well as the key light coming from front left. It's either a large picture window / french door, or multiple windows.
To get the closest look to that I'd use the largest soft box I had to the left front, another (possibly smaller) from high left rear, and a big white wall or reflector panel (or another large soft box if you're rich on gear) from the right for fill.
Another option if you have a small window in a big room is to put a large diffusion scrim between the window and the subject, but closer to the subject. Then the scrim becomes the effective light source rather than the window. Using a scrim can emulate north light even when the window doesn't face north.

The 190cm Elinchrom Octa (EL Octa) only has one layer of diffusion since it is an indirect design. Are you referring to the 175cm (69") Elinchrom Rotalux sofbox?
