'Enchanted Forest Fairies' by Alexandra Zaharova and Ilya Plotnikov features romantic fashions with an avant-garde edge. From butterfly-shaped fascinators to pleated collars and diaphanous blouses, these styles are something I'd imagine a modern Maid Marian wearing.
My favorite outfit is the gray top and over-the-boot leggings paired with the white bubble skirt. Which is yours?
