The 'Gertrude' Vulture fashion story is featured in the publication's #02 issue. The striking in-studio editorial stars Ave Models face Jemma H, who channels an aristocrat from eras passed.

The red-haired beauty shows off locks by hair stylist Celia Tham and demure beauty looks by makeup artist Raudha Raily. Jemma is outfitted by wardrobe stylist Kelly Yeunh, who dresses her in glamorous and ladylike pieces that showcase [intricate and ornate detailing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heli-kalkstein).

Captured by the lens of photographer Clifford Loh, the Gertrude Vulture editorial is sophisticated and subtly ornate. Inspired by the portraiture and fashions of the past, this fashion story highlights regal looks from top designers that include [Dolce & Gabbana](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign) and [Bulgari](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bulgari-aeterna) among others.
