Grey Magazine's 'Colorful Realm' spread is a part of the publication's breakout Spring/Summer issue. Photographer Sarah Moon decided to work with a set of blossoming flowers, often zooming in on the petals in place of the ensembles.
Model Georgina Stojiljkovic posed beside the pink and violet bushels. The bulging peplum dresses that she wore imitated the exact shape of the plants, unfolding gracefully as she twirled in front of the camera. This genre of fashion was chosen by stylist Valentina Illardi Martin who opted to merge the apparel with the natural props.
The most intriguing twist came from a wire-clad skirt. The pink piece is formed much like a bird cage, introducing a fresh approach to structural style.
