The September 2014 issue of Prestige Magazine is rife with dreamy diaphanous dresses. Although the fall season is often a transitional time filled with more low-key events, women might be tempted to dress up for a glamorous night out on the town in one of these gowns. From [feminine lace](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity) to crushed satin and [black feathers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/feather-kissed-collection), the diaphanous dresses range in style to suit anyone's personality.

Shot by photographer Richard Ramos of [Fast Management](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nail-care-system), the diaphanous dresses were styled by Denise Ho. She clad model Shu Pei is sleek silhouettes that were complemented with sparkling jewelry from Van Cleefs & Arpels. The brunette beauty was perfected with a sleek wet 'do by hair stylist Matthieu Guignaudeau and dewy skin by makeup artist Delphine Ehrhart. Perhaps they were channeling a modern mermaid.
