A modern monarch appears in the form of Katlin Aas in Dazed and Confused. The editorial, shot by William Selden, appears in the magazine’s November 2009 issue. Aas could be mistaken for an Elizabethan era beauty or a lavish extra on the set of the TV drama The Tudors.
Styled by Kate Shillingford used outfits from Alexander McQueen, Junya Watanabe, John Galliano, and D & G to travel back in time and channel old English aristocracy. The eye-catching props, often held by Aas, are by Gary Card.
