The AnOther Magazine's spring/summer 2012 'The Play's The Thing' photoshoot exhibits an assortment of gilded cocktail dresses. New York-based model Kinga Rajzak is showcased here in floor-length and micro mini dresses that all feature reflective material, sending shots of blue and gold-hued light through the photos.

The Plays The Thing editorial was styled by Robbie Spencer. The materials and cuts selected by Spencer bring an haute level of sophistication to the production. Glistening bright green frocks and metallic embellishments confirmed the underlying sparking motif, expertly captured by photographer Lina Scheynius. The majestic abode that served as the production's glamorous backdrop added to the aesthetic display with gleaming stain glass windows, towering far above Rajzak's reach.
