# Gothic Opulence Editorials Glassbook Magazine's Portrait of a Lady Photoshoot is Dramatic By Jana Pijak | Published 2014-12-18 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portrait-of-a-lady-editorial References: [glass-book](http://www.glass-book.com/v2/portrait-of-a-lady/) Photographer Yann Ostiguy captures Glassbook Magazine's 'Portrait of a Lady' editorial that features creative direction by Steven Turpin. The image series shines a spotlight on [gothic fashion staples](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gothic-revival) that are both extravagant and theatrical in their look. Izabel Soucy styles the editorial and works with Steven Turpin to transform the editorial's model star. The 'Portrait of a Lady' fashion story highlights glamorous looks from Vivienne Westwood, Roberto Cavalli and Anomal Couture among other labels. Its most memorable looks are its embroidery-accented gowns and lace veil accessories that remind one of [gothic bridal wear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heli-kalkstein). This editorial is theatrical and bold, referencing a [vintage costume aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles) that one may see in a stage or film adaptation of a period piece.
