James Mullen captured Snow White lookalike Nikole Luna in 'Amazing Lace' for Sunday Style Australia's September 2013 issue. The photographs are angelic and hazy like the Australian heat, but the purple tinge alludes to the chilly winter ahead.
Lace is coming back this season and designer Alex Perry put a seductive spin on it with Luna's sleek dark tresses and dark-toned makeup. Posed among palms there is a lingering summer atmosphere, which is perfect for this season as we transit into autumn.
Luna looks confident and calm as she casually walks in the photographs, which expresses the relaxation of a Sunday afternoon. The editorial is soft and delicate yet also sultry and the snow white lace patterns are very suitable. It also carries a bare, natural ambiance.
