The Gail Sorrando Murmur Editorial definitely has a dark and gloomy, yet religious and spiritual, tone to its images. Photographed by Amber Toms with model Monika, the photos from the Spring/Summer 2011 Murmur collection emanate an array of aesthetic meaning, such as matte versus shine and organic versus mechanical, behind its unique designs.
Inspired by the "noise" that often takes us away from keeping our attention on the more important social issues in life, the Gail Sorrando Murmur collection uses monochromatic palettes with emphasis on textures and silhouettes and a fusion of organic materials.
