Vintage Melancholy Editorials

Waiting In Vain by Aaron Feaver Boasts a 50s and 60s Vibe

— July 30, 2012 — Fashion
Waiting in Vain by Aaron Feaver is a stunning story about a young woman who is waiting for her lover at a hotel. The man she waits for never shows up, and this casts a broken-hearted feeling upon the model's face.

The stylist Shannon Roxanna adorned the model in colorful dresses, blouses, high-waisted shorts, blazers and thigh-high tights. The models hair by Yasuko Shapiro is parted to the side, and textured in the front. This seductive and feminine editorial has a 50s and 60s-inspired feel, and the model is captured with red lipstick and bronzed cheeks.

The model is photographed along the staircase, dim hallways, bathroom and entranceway of the hotel. Aaron Feaver is a Los Angeles-based photographer, and this editorial represents his talent in the industry.
