Seductive and smokey, the Elena Melnik WestEast Magazine editorial titillates the senses in various ways. In addition to the vintage-inspired images and sensual poses, the photo shoot is filled with soft, feminine fashion that leaves almost everything to the imagination and layers of jewelry that add to its old world charm.
Lensed by California-born, New York-based photographer Paul de Luna, the Elena Melnik WestEast Magazine editorial channels his pension for romantic and poetic imagery as it takes place in an intimate bedroom setting. The Russian beauty was styled by Edda Gudmun, who chose a lightweight wardrobe from fashion labels such as Azzedine Alaia, Gucci and Chanel. Her hair was styled by Martin-Christopher Harper with makeup by Ingeborg.
