Featuring the work of designer Paulina Undziakiewicz, this photo series captured by Karolina Grzesiak appears in Nu-Mode issue 4.

The model is Joanna Sobesto, who looks stunning yet [melancholy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles), which resonates with the portrait series' title, "I've lost my Master. Margarita." Sobesto is dressed in an [elegant black, 3/4-sleeved lace number](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity), which offers a pretty and delicate contrast to the shoot's more somber vibe. In a few of the shots, which are set in both a colorful restaurant and a house, she dons a cute little wire crown on a bed of charmingly disheveled hair, styled by Joanna Stawowy.

This spread photographed by Karolina Grzesiak for Nu-Mode issue 4 also features [lovely makeup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign) by Joanna Stawowy.
