Daul Kim Models Jewels for Marcus Gaab Dripping Wet

— November 27, 2009 — Fashion
Looking at this accessories editorial starring Korean model Daul Kim by Marcus Gaab makes me sad. This may have been one of the last shoots Kim did before her untimely death in Paris last week.

As these steamy shots can attest, Kim was a rising star in the fashion world-capable of great expressions. Wearing nothing more than pearls and precious gems, Kim shines in these lovely shot by Marcus Gaab.

Implications - The theme of the entire shoot was very mermaidesque and featured the high-profile model draped in jewels in a bathtub. Although she bares no clothing, the photographs are beautifully tasteful and really emphasize Daul Kim's natural beauty. Editorials like this one prove that creative and unusual photo shoots produce mesmerizing results that are unforgettable.
