Joining the slew of darkly fashioned editorials is the Stylist Magazine 'The Woman in Black' photoshoot. Embracing a sultry widow persona, model Joan Smalls strikes a mysterious figure in the overgrown gardens of a cemetery. Unlike the Gothic, luxe or even witchy style that some editorials have been embracing, this one focuses on tons of textures. It essentially teaches women that monotone outfits don't have to be one dimensional.
The Stylist Magazine 'The Woman in Black' editorial was shot by photographer Tom Gormer on location in London, England. Styled by fashion director Alexandra Fullerton, the Puerto Rican beauty was outfitted in the sumptuous designs of such labels as Gucci, Viktor & Rolf, Salvatore Ferragamo and Emilio Pucci.
