The theme of ELLE Russia Issue 206 is magic, so it is only natural that this editorial would have a magical touch, if in a dark and mysterious way. As though trapped in a desolate room complete with distressed walls and minimal furniture, the glamorous lingerie looks stand out alluringly. It is not hard to imagine what kind of image is being struck here, but the looks more than make up for it.
Shot by Nikolay Biryukov for the December 2013 edition, the ELLE Russia Issue 206 editorial stars model Veranika Antsipava. The Belarusian beauty was clad in a range of skin-revealing ensembles and dazzling jewels by stylist Renata Kharkova. Hair stylist Marina Melentieva and makeup artist Andrey Shilkov finish the looks.
