Winter is a time for both magic and darkness, which the W Korea Bon Voyage photo spread combines perfectly. Just like the magazine's latest cover, the image of which was pulled from this very photo shoot, the style is gypsy meets goth.
Shot by fashion photographer Catherine Servel for the magazine's December 2011 issue, the W Korea Bon Voyage photo spread explores dark glamor while other magazines and fashion designers go down a merrier route to the happy holiday season. Although stylist Catherine Newell-Hanson outfits model Hailey Clauson in ethereal pieces from such fashion houses as Chanel, Dior, Louis Vuitton and Roberto Cavalli, the blue tint as well as grunge-like hair and makeup by Alice Ghendrih and Tomohiro Ohashi is anything but delicate.
