Darkly Romantic Couture Editorials

The Sunday Times Style May 2014 Issue Stars Holly Rose Emery

The Sunday Times Style May 2014 editorial is darkly romantic, which heightens the dramatic flair of the couture items featured throughout the editorial. Set against a gorgeous floral backdrop, the setting also lends a fairy tale feel to the photoshoot. It doesn't hurt that the model looks like a real-life Disney princess in all of the stunning gowns.

Shot by photographer Jem Mitchell, the Sunday Times Style May 2014 editorial stars model Holly Rose Emery. The red-headed beauty is outfitted in a range of different dresses by fashion editor Lucy Ewing. Whether it is golden and puffy or sequinned and slim-fitting, the looks are all feminine and all luxurious. They were perfected with a half-up hairdo by Karin Bigler and a bright red lip by Maxine Leonard.
