The Last Magazine Black Sun Photoshoot is Dark and Enthralling

— May 2, 2014 — Fashion
The Last Magazine Black Sun editorial is currently being broadcast in the publication's Spring/Summer 2014 issue. Much as the title suggests, model Daria Werbowy was cast in dark lighting, revealing no color aside from a few pale shades.

Photographer Mikael Jansson executed this monochromatic fashion production. Stylist Alastair McKimm met the alluring theme with ease via charcoal-hued leather jackets, metallic embellishments and a silver nose ring only. Hair expert Yannick d'Is also stuck to the basics with slicked back tresses, drawing attention to Werbowy only amid the shadows.

Make-up was similarly muted as Mark Carrasaquillo opted for a natural look, clearly all that was needed to showcase this photoshoot which will no doubt inspire followers of the fashion industry this season.
