The Vogue Japan When It Becomes Dark editorial will be seen in the July 2014 edition of the magazine. Model Anna Jagodzinska is clad in elegant dresses in the production, many of which would be most appropriate for this summer's black tie affairs.
Stylist Sabino Pantone did an excellent job of updating classic black tie looks in a most brazen manner. Sheer fabrics, feathers, cut outs, lace and sparkles reveal a new kind of debutante, one that is more bold than her predecessors.
Photographer Andreas Sjodin captured swaths of beads and embroidery for this Vogue Japan series. As the apparel largely speaks for itself, Sjodin stuck to the basics with plain backdrops and a wooden stool.
