In the Mon Nox photo shoot photographed by Sylwia Makris, designer and stylist Pericles Kondylatos displays his eccentrically eerie Gothic jewelry design collection. Against the smokey dark backdrops, the crystalline chandelier baubles and doll head pendants seem creepy and otherworldly.
Stunning gowns in dramatic, floor-length cuts worn with long gloves and bouffant wigs seem to fit right in with the decrepit yet decadent surroundings. The gorgeous models seem like restless spirits trapped in a haunted manse, ready to tear off the heads of little children and wear them on chains around their necks.
The Gothic jewelry design using toys and ornate picture frames is creepy and unsettling, not to mention how freaky it must look when the decapitated baby heads turn around as they dangle.
