Scarlet Siren Shoots

The Fashion Quarterly New Zealand Autumn Issue Stars Sarah Stephens

The fall season is all about red hot fashion, as is clearly demonstrated in the captivating Fashion Quarterly New Zealand Autumn issue. Filled with a slew of scarlet styles, the photo shoot is romantic and undeniably edgy. The latter is especially the case since the majority of the photos were shot on the edge of a rocky cliff.

The Fashion Quarterly New Zealand Autumn editorial was lensed by Sydney-based photographer Steven Chee. The photo shoot stars Australian model Sarah Stephens, who strikes statuesque poses in the sunset. Styled by Marina Didovich, the crimson outfits are stunning against the stratified rocks and rough gray waters. The tousled hair and red lips finish off the looks beautifully.
