Photographer Julia Kiecksee captures "Warrior", an editorial exclusive for style publication Glassbook Magazine. This couture-clad image series is lensed outdoors and boasts stunning landscape views that are almost more striking than its elegant fashions.
Wardrobe styling for this image series is courtesy of Irina Skladkowski who dresses her model muse Roxanna in a range of evening gowns and separates that are displayed in a monochromatic palette.
Hair and make-up artist Ines Schult creates the model's beauty looks and opts for fresh-faced cosmetics that are subtle and understated. The editorial by Julia Kiecksee highlights a range of classically chic looks from a number of designer labels including Hermes, Di Brandimarte and Zofie Angelic Couture among a slew of other names.
