The May 2012 edition of Japan Vogue will feature the 'Pearls Are a Girl's Best Friend' editorial orchestrated by photographer Henrique Gendre. Featuring the blonde beauty Anja Konstantinova, the set offers a remarkable display of all things white.
Paying heed to the Pearls Are a Girl's Best Friend title, the haute couture display showcases a variety of chunky pearl-laden pieces, including long bulbous rings, dangling earrings and thick string necklaces strewn across both Konstantinova's collar bones and wrists. The collection's focus on jewelry is unmistakable, especially since many of the shots juxtapose one article of clothing with various glistening adornments.
The May 2012 Japan Vogue Pearls Are a Girl's Best Friend shoot also manages to mix light with dark. Although the series makes use of white apparel only, Konstantinova's eye make-up is dark and highly exaggerated, making for an interesting contrast.
