Gothic Lakeside Shoots

The Quality Magazine 'Moderne Mythen' Editorial is Darkly Elegant

The Quality Magazine 'Moderne Mythen' editorial isn't a legendary lakeside shoot about the Loch Ness Monster. Instead, it revolves around a mythical beauty and her impeccable style. Outfitted in dark looks that are just shy of being dramatic, model Kati Nescher, who happens to be the current face of Louis Vuitton, is a beautiful void in the center of a sunny, scenic landscape.

Shot by photographer Patrick Houi for the magazine's latest issue, the Quality Magazine Moderne Mythen editorial is filled with elegant silhouettes with edge. Nescher was styled by Christof Post, who chose a wardrobe of winter looks from such fashion labels as Miu Miu, Jil Sander and Prada. Slick hair and plum lips by Miriam Jacks complete the looks.
