Darkness is descending upon the Northern hemisphere, but as the Dress to Kill 'Black Celebration' editorial shows, that doesn't just involve the natural change of seasons. Fashion designers and magazine editors are embracing a Gothic style that helps to usher in the fall and winter season rather than put it off. In this case, they accomplish this with regality. Model Avalon is like a dark queen emerging for her seasonal reign.
The Dress to Kill 'Black Celebration' editorial was shot by Toronto and Montreal-based photography duo Lily & Lilac. Styled by Nadia Pizzimenti, the photoshoot features the designs of such labels as Lucian Matis, Gucci, Greta Constantine, McQ by Alexander McQueen, Jeremy Laing and Chloe Comme Parris.
