The Sunday Times Style 'Amazing Grace' editorial may be full of haute couture looks, but they have been given a low-key, if not completely understated, feel many women will be able to appreciate. More often than not, viewing such fashion in magazines is a guilty pleasure. Yet this photoshoot makes the looks appear more attainable even if they still are out of people's reach.
Starring model Sigrid Agren, the Sunday Times Style 'Amazing Grace' editorial was shot by photographer Eric Guillemain. Captured in studio, the French-Swedish beauty was outfitted in stunning designs from such labels as Atelier Versace, Giambattista Valli and Christian Dior Haute Couture by stylist Lucy Ewing. The looks were perfected with straight locks by hair stylist Joseph Puljate and a flawless, dewy face by makeup artist Marie Duhard.
