The Fashion Gone Rogue 'Grace Alone' online editorial is dark and moody. Filled with all-black ensembles, the photo shoot itself features a black backdrop and the occasional monochromatic still. A refreshing change from all of the vibrant spring editorials cropping up in magazines, this shoot nevertheless has a winter appeal in spite of the skin-revealing numbers featured throughout.
Lensed by photographer Attilio D’Agostino, the Fashion Gone Rogue Grace Alone online editorial stars model Grace Hartzel. The American beauty was styled by Jill Manoff. She dons pieces from Milan-based label Persy’s fall 2012 collection. Rife with asymmetrical cuts and leather dresses, the looks were perfected with lush waves by Lindsey Stevens and barely-there makeup by Lisa Kalz.
