Gracing the latest issue of Dazed & Confused, this Comme des Garcons style exclusive features supermodel Anna Ewers and is captured by photographer Paolo Roversi's lens. The publication's 'Power Protest' cover story boasts wardrobe picks by visionary stylist Robbie Spencer who opts for architectural pieces with a Gothic flair.
In addition to its ruffle-accented dresses, sculptural skirts and tent-resembling capes, this Comme des Garcons style feature also spotlights high-contrast image filters that are both dramatic and eerie. Bringing a cinematic visual aesthetic to life, photographer Paolo Roversi captures his muse against a darkened studio backdrop that appears spooky and moonlit.
This photoshoot's set design is courtesy of Simon Costin who collaborates with a beauty team that consists of hair stylist Yannick D’is and makeup artist Hiromi Ueda.
