There is a bit of a paradox present in Venice Unmasked by Laspata/DeCaro, given that the looks featured in the editorial are more dressed up rather than revealing. On the other hand, one perspective of this great European city is that, at it's core, it represents rich culture and a certain aesthetic luxury.
To complement the title of the Americana Manhasset Fall 2011 campaign, several of the male models wear golden masks in the background. Stealing the spotlight is the magnificent Coco Rocha, rivaling the majestic canal-side architecture with gorgeous gowns and accessories by Michael Kors, Hermes and Dior, Hermes. Alive with color, dramatic light and the details of its Italian setting, Venice Unmasked by Laspata/DeCaro succeeds to expose pure opulence.
