For those widows who can't bring themselves to put aside their sensuality just because they have lost their husbands recently, the looks featured throughout the photo series titled Back to Black by Nico Kroon, a photographer based in the Hague, the Netherlands, could offer some interesting alternatives. Although still adhering to the traditional dark palette, the outfits are far from melancholy and demure. Of course, for this reason they can be adopted by women other than widows.
Back to Black by Nico Kroon was styled by Alexandra Calmero. She clad VDM Model Louise in everything from revealing lingerie looks to femme fatale fashion and more. Interestingly, the photoshoot was inspired by the musical hues of Amy Winehouse and her single of the same name. No wonder there is a rocker vibe to the outfits.
