Polish model Anna Jagodzinska channels a dark ethereal look for the latest HGIssue project by photography and artist duo Hunter & Gatti. Playing with the idea of a fantastic future in which a woman lies enchantingly ensnared, it's hard to tear one's eyes away from the sight of her long silver hair and body-conscious black ensembles. In a way, the [dark ethereal looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25) are reminiscent of Storm's outfits in the X-Men franchise.

Styled by Alberto Murtra, the dark ethereal photoshoot was interestingly inspired by the idea of a [butterfly emerging from a cocoon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biomimicry-fashion). The dramatic looks were perfected with [whimsical tresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chanel-spring-summer-2026) by hair stylist Paco Garrigues and chiseled cheeks by makeup artist Carol Guzman. The theme flies in the face of more traditional summer editorials, which is refreshing in its own way.
