Photographer Marie-Louise Cadosch captures Alina B. and Edison K. in a [sensual and glamorous romance-themed photography shoot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eva-green). 'Eyes Wide Shut,' for the fall 2013 issue of RUNWAY, features mini dresses, transparent mesh tops, [thigh-high leather boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025) and sequins galore.

Alina B. poses provocatively and sensually, luring her date in like a Black Widow spider. Her gaze is deep and focused, giving the editorial a steamy and tantalizing feel. Her outfits reveal a lot of skin, emphasizing the intimacy of the relationship between the two characters.

The editorial features beautiful fashion pieces like gold heels with black ribbon straps, [sparkling dresses and skirts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcqueen-holiday-2025), Shakespearian puffed tops and of course the thigh-high black leather boots that give Alina B. a dominatrix trait. The photography shoot uses shades of blue and purple, which gives it a cool, club-like atmosphere.
