Romantic Gilded Fashion

Golden Skies by Louise Smit Stars a Glittering Kia Low

The photo series titled Golden Skies by Louise Smit, a photographer based in Brisbane, Australia, is filled with gilded fashion fit for a modern princess. Full of depth and austerity, the stunning outfits were shot in the middle of the desert to give them a more futuristic appeal. Yet no matter where they were captured, as long as the elegant ensembles were hit with natural lighting to emphasize the metallic details, they would enamor anyone.

Starring model Kia Low, Golden Skies by Louise Smit will inspire women to embrace glittering fabrics for the summer season. Styled by Ashleigh Kelly, the looks are diverse, delicate and fashion forward. They were perfected by hair and makeup artist Carla Sakrzewski.
