Izabel Soucy styles the editorial and works with Steven Turpin to transform the editorial's model star. The 'Portrait of a Lady' fashion story highlights glamorous looks from Vivienne Westwood, Roberto Cavalli and Anomal Couture among other labels.
Its most memorable looks are its embroidery-accented gowns and lace veil accessories that remind one of gothic bridal wear. This editorial is theatrical and bold, referencing a vintage costume aesthetic that one may see in a stage or film adaptation of a period piece.
