From the costumes to the lighting and composition, this photo series has been masterfully put together.
Featuring the fashion designs of Maria Karin, Alice in Wonderland by Vilma Costa reimagines the animal characters as human while also stylishly updating the looks of other characters such as the Mad Hatter and Alice herself. Each outfit is stunningly opulent, which is appropriate considering the setting and the overall context. The vintage-like finish of each image gives the shoot an even more romantic vibe.
