There is an eerie element to the Creem Magazine 'In the Shadows' editorial that nevertheless would set no one's teeth on edge. That is because there is a regality to the darkness that surrounds the photoshoot, which many people will be able to appreciate. It adds a [mystical and surreal quality](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/faberge-x-beetlejuice-beetlejuice) to the photoshoot that heightens the narrative in an imaginative and romantic way.

Shot by Susanne Stemmer, a photographer based in Paris, France, the Creem Magazine 'In the Shadows' editorial showcases the [clothing and jewelry designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-art-of-adornment) of Ale Elsbacher. From opulently [bejeweled crowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crown-lighting) and mesh hairpieces to knitted sweaters and puffed shoulder tank tops, the looks are subtly eccentric and entirely feminine. Modeled on Lenka Hanakova, the looks were perfected by beauty artist Birgit Fuchs.
