Gowned Fantasy Editorials

The WSJ Magazine 'Dream Weavers' Photoshoot Stars Stella Tenant

The fashion featured throughout the WSJ Magazine 'Dream Weavers' editorial is straight out of a fantasy, hence its title. Stunningly ethereal and beautifully fantastical, the gowns are nevertheless far from unattainable or even unwearable. Instead, they are simply fit for a fairy tale princess in the modern era, or those who would like to fancy themselves one.

The WSJ Magazine Dream Weavers editorial was shot by photographer Daniel Jackson for the May 2012 issue of the publication. It stars model Stella Tenant. An absolute stunner in a range of haute couture garments, she was outfitted by stylist Tiina Laakkonen. From Dior to Valentino and Elie Saab Haute Couture, the gowns are the very essence of elegance. Hairstylist Didier Malige and makeup artist Francelle complete the looks.
