The title of the Marie Claire Australia October 2012 editorial says it all, "The Age of Oppulence." It showcases a slew of glamorous baroque-inspired fashion fit for socialites and royalty everywhere. Captured in the equally lavish rooms of a Parisian mansion as well as outdoors on the Alexander The Third bridge (also known as Pont Alexandre III), model Alexina Graham strikes glamorous poses worthy of the couture she is wearing.
Shot by photographer Troyt Coburn, the Marie Claire Australia October 2012 editorial encourages women to embrace their luxurious sides for the fall season. The British beauty was styled by Kate Harrowsmith Lanvin. She was clad in pieces from the likes of Christian Dior, Salvatore Ferragamo and more. Her fiery red locks were given a glossy wave treatment by hairstylist Vincent de Moro.
