Edgily Gilded Editorials

Good As Gold by Ron Contarsy and Seth Karecha Stars Eva Marie

— February 27, 2014 — Fashion
The Good As Gold editorial may focus on luxurious gilded fashion designs, but they have been given an edgy twist in at least two ways. The first is the most obvious and involves the dramatic coloring of each still. At once dark and moody, specific hues are accentuated to accentuate different aspects of the ensembles. Secondly, the designs themselves have a bit of a ghetto fabulous feel that is initially lost amongst the ornate setting.

Shot by Ron Contarsy and Seth Karecha of Highmark Studios, the Good As Gold editorial stars model Eva Marie. The blonde beauty was outfitted by stylist Jason Rembert, who gives her a modern goddess look. It was perfected with sleek buns created by hair stylist Naomi Porto and a flawless face by make artist Paul Innes.
