The Numero Magazine Greg Kadel editorial puts a chic assortment of couture costume looks on display. The photographer did so with the help of model Constance Jablonski who sported a variety of masks and hats, each one mimicking classic halloween motifs.
Stylist Bill Mullen opted for these exceptionally playful outfits. In place of the typical fall or winter fashion display, Mullen chose to incorporate animal prints, jewel-encrusted tops and feathered pieces.
High fashion dress up elements stem from black on red prints, thick gold adornments and chunky belts. Together these items give way to convincing disguises, making Jablonski appear ready for a murder mystery party if need be. Despite these dramatic features, zipper booties and double breasted coats make this Numero Magazine series approachable.
