The Vogue Italia So Much Chic editorial displays model Andreea Diaconu in the most whimsical of manners. Diaconu comes across much like a mermaid in the images, taken for the magazine's February 2013 issue by photographer Solve Sundsbo.
Sundsbo chose to focus exclusively upon Diaconu without any props or over the top backdrops. Instead what was displayed was a plain white backdrop, a choice that was well informed given stylist Anastasia Barbieri's rife use of color.
It was Barbieri's flowing green, blue, purple and yellow gowns that made Diaconu's figure stand out at once. The monochromatic pieces were also flowing, making it appear as if she was flying above the set, or, given the mermaid look, floating.
