Darkly Ominous Editorials

The Vogue Italia 'Black and Roses' Photoshoot Stars Kristen Mcmenamy

The Vogue Italia 'Black and Roses' editorial has a darkly ominous feel that sets the perfect tone for the month of Halloween. Yet because this particular photoshoot centers around high fashion pieces, the creepy factor is taken to an avant-garde level.

Shot in studio against stark white walls by photographer Tim Walker with set design by Emma Roach, the Vogue Italia 'Black and Roses' editorial appears in the October 2012 issue of the magazine. It stars model Kristen McMenamy, who has some anonymous guests in the background of a couple of the captures. Draped in monotone outfits, which were styled by Jacob K, the American beauty strikes imposing poses that will send a chill down people's spines. The looks feature designs from the likes of Yves Saint Laurent, Celine, Emilio Cavallini and Valentino.
