This dark fashion editorial for DeFuze magazine is entitled 'The Sea Goddess and The Raven' and features feathers and see-through summery attire. This captivating sea side editorial incorporates feathers, seaweed, black veils and [bronze colored jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-art-of-adornment) to create the look of a mischievous sea goddess.

This avian inspired editorial actually features a crown made out of long black feathers that adds to the roguishly beautiful feel of these photos. In some of these shots the model Emily Soto is wearing a feather filled arm band as well. The model has long pieces of fern and seaweed twisted into her hair and sports some stunning [black bathing suits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adriana-degreas-x-sabine-getty) in these enchanting sea captures.

This dark fashion editorial blends punk fashion with seductive beach wear in a way that grabs the attention of the viewer.
