The Vogue Japan May 2014 A Poetic Shining editorial features the literally glistening likes of model Vanessa Axenta. Much as its title lets on, Axente is found clad in all-gold ensembles, each one selected on behalf of stylist Nicoletta Santoro.
Although Santoro stuck to a specific aesthetic for A Poetic Shining, she somehow managed to diversify the pieces. Present in the production are off the shoulder dresses, slinky cocktail numbers and ruffled embellishments, each one characterized by gilded, metallic hues.
Present in this assortment of apparel are the designs of Dolce & Gabbana, Rochas, Proenza Schouler and Lanvin. Although separate and distinct from another, the labels merge with ease in A Poetic Shining with the help of both Axente and Santoro.
