The Tenth Muse -- an imaginative fashion editorial for the latest issue of Gravure online -- features model Anastasia playing the role of an artist’s muse. The photo lensed by Diego Uchitel is [cinematic in its art direction](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles) by Lisa Mosko and Alex Fraund.

Anastasia’s ethereal beauty is enhanced by Diego Uchitel’s striking imagery. The graceful model channels a goddess-like poise and is seen wearing a neutral palette of soft beiges and creams accented with some metallic here and there. The high fashion editorial, which was styled by creative director Lisa Mosko, features vintage-inspired ensembles with a fashion forward edge. While understated makeup and hair leave behind a blank canvas, [gilded accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-art-of-adornment) like headpieces and dainty, precious jewels adorn Anastasia and make her fit the role of [ethereal goddess](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bronze-goddess-aegea). These dynamic captures evoke emotion as well as a stoic strength.
