Military Bridal Frocks

‘Stars of the Southern Sky' for Marie Claire South Africa May 2

The ‘Stars of the Southern Sky’ shoot for the Marie Claire South Africa May 2010 issue stars golden beauties Behati Prinsloo, Heidi Verster and Candice Swanepoel.

The editorial is shot by photographer Daniella Midenge, who manages to capture the essence of the three different models. The common theme that ties the three of them together is the militaristic, yet wedding-like, frocks that they rock.

Wearing ensembles from South Africa’s top designers, each model brings something different to the table. Whether it’s sensual or edgy, each garment is modeled and photographed superbly.
