Photographer Morten Quale’s ‘El Mirage’ fashion series features a Marilyn Monroe style model, sporting a number of black, feminine outfits. This series has a desert setting, and is done entirely in black and white.
The title of this series seems fitting, because these sultry desert shots make model Britini Stanwood seem like a stunning mirage, covered in black lace. In this striking series, Stanwood sports short, curly blonde locks. She wears glamorous dark clothing, from tight dresses and heals to overcoats and fluffy gloves. Even the model’s makeup is bold and glamorous in this shoot. She sports dark lipstick shades, penciled-in eyebrows and heavy eye shadow.
This Monroe style fashion series is bold and beautiful. Stylist Michael Dye does a brilliant job of draping Stanwood in Hollywood style outfits. The looks featured here are impossible to ignore.
