The Sheike Autumn 2014 advertisements display a series of abandoned warehouse backdrops. Models Alys Hale and Samie Robinson stood in front of the barren scenes, allowing the pale white and grey walls to offset the brand's current collection.
Stylist Michael Azzollini put together an assortment of striking, stand alone ensembles. Showcased in photographer Justin Ridler's images are patterned dresses, velvet frocks and flowing, floor-length gowns.
Given the couture nature of these pieces, this set speaks to sophisticated, formal looks. Fans of Sheike can thus call upon this line when dressing for upscale affairs, making it a go-to label. With lace additions and bustiers, it will also be relevant to several seasons, not only Autumn 2014.
