The Alexander McQueen Fall/Winter 2014 fashion line shot by talented photographer Steven Klein is a breathtaking display of edgy gothic culture. The ad campaign for the line stars beautiful brunette model Edie Campbell.
For the shoot Campbell channels the look of a dark and mysterious princess locked up in a tower. Dressed head-to-toe in heavily embellished garments, Campbell looks drained and torn as she lounges helplessly across couches, chairs and the floor of her tower. The dark blue and black color scheme of the set heavily contrasts the white and cream-colored gowns that Campbell wears. Hair stylist Paul Hanlon leaves Campbell's black locks long and tousled with the simple addition of a golden headpiece. In some of the photos Campbell even poses with a majestic black horse.
