Thomas Babeau's latest editorial for REVS Magazine showcases both his incredible fashion photography skills, as well as several [sleek evening wear designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/after-hours-collection).

Starring the dark and brooding model Caroline Von Meissner, this editorial, appropriately titled 'Caroline,' features several eye-catching, geometrically based looks. The geometric qualities of the designs refer to the perfect symmetry featured in each of the ensembles, as well as the ensembles' starkly straight lines and A-line shapes. One ensemble in particular accentuates these features. Consisting of a simple black dress and heels, this outfit might sound pretty unoriginal at first. However, the dress's shape features three-quarter length sleeves and a large bubble skit, giving it almost a vase-like shape that complements perfect Von Meissner's shape.

With these ensembles, both Babeau and REVS have demonstrated that [soft, flowing and typically feminine lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity) are not the only way to dress for formal evenings. With contemporary women's fashion heading in a more androgynous direction, these designs strike the perfect balance between past and present, feminine and masculine.
