The Vogue India 'High Gloss' editorial is full of darkly shimmering fashion that would have been fit for the holiday season. As it is, they are being thrown into the tail end of the winter season and into the beginning of spring since they appear in the February 2013 issue of the magazine. Ushering in the warmer weather in glittering style, the looks will appeal to women who are tapping into their bolder selves for the new year.
Shot by photographer Kevin Sinclair, the Vogue India 'High Gloss' editorial stars model Lakshmi Menon. She was outfitted by stylist Andrew Holden in the hottest metallic hues of the season. Holden pulled rebellious pieces from the racks of such labels as Gucci, Vera Wang, Chanel and Lanvin. The looks were perfected by hairstylist Dennis Fei and makeup artist Fumi Akinakagawa.
