On May 5th, 2012 the the moon was the closest it's ever been to earth in the last 18 years, these 72 alluring lunar discoveries are proof that the magnificence of the moon continues to inspire and captivate society.
The elegant sheen of the moon's glow illuminates the pictorials in both the Haunting Moonlight Editorials and Moonlit Ad Campaigns, evocative of the mystery and unpredictable allure of midnight escapades. The silhouette of the moon's shape can often add a sense of epic stature and finesse as indicated by the Gleaming Moonlight Photography.
Of course the moon also inspires fashion apparel, both in regards to jewelery and garments. Many contemporary watch designs such as the Moon-Surface Watches and Crescent Moon Timepieces incorporate the aesthetics of lunar attraction.
