There is a moodiness about the High S/S 2014 ad campaign that is as evocative as it is emotive. In spite of the presence of pretty flowers, lush foliage and an overall [femininely rustic setting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat), the images are dark and faded, which gives the images a melancholy air that even the romantic outfits are unable to combat.

Shot on location by photographer Carl Bengtsson, the High S/S 2014 ad campaign stars models Ilse De Boer and Kim Noorda who could be considered either sisters or lovers, depending on how a person reads their interactions. Clad in [lacy frocks in monotone colors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren), the outfits suit the countryside surroundings perfectly. Their fresh looks were perfected with naturally tousled hair and barely there makeup.
