If there was ever a time for darkly glamorous photo shoots like the one done for the Pulp Magazine Chanel editorial, it is now. The dreary winter season may cry for vibrant colors and hot fantasies, but there is something satisfying about wallowing in beautiful, Gothic imagery like these ones. Not to mention that the dystopian-like cover shoot complements the Chanel collection stunningly.
Photographed by Chris Nicholls, the Pulp Magazine Chanel cover shoot stars Next Canada model Kristen. As part of the publication's #4 issue, titled 'Innocence Within,' this editorial focuses on the poetic luxury that is part of every Chanel design. Dramatically styled by Juliana Schiavinatto, with teased tresses and understated makeup by Susana Hong, Kristen appears to belongs in a Tim Burton film. Even her somber expressions are perfect.
