The Wall Street Journal probably wouldn't be the first thing I think of when I want my fashion fix, but this WSJ Magazine September 2013 editorial is quickly changing my opinion of the publication.
Shot for the Women's Fashion Issue of the magazine, the series features it model of the moment Drake Burnette. Shot by Josh Olins, the images show Burnette in a dark forest setting while wearing pieces filled with lace, fur and even feathers styled by Alastair McKimm. The images give off an ominous feeling, as if the model is about to walk into something right out of a horror movie - all while wearing coveted high fashion pieces.
Titled 'Lush Life,' this WSJ Magazine September 2013 shoot is a definite must-see.
