Romantically Gothic Editorials

Although the Gothic ambiance can often be considered romantic in a darker sense of the word, there happens to be a bigger touch of romanticism in the Lenka Varvarova Metal Magazine editorial. From the beautiful poses and wistful looks to the addition of brighter colors and frilly fashion, this photo shoot counters the shadows with as much light as is needed.

The Lenka Varvarova Metal Magazine editorial was lensed by Axl Jansen, a photographer based in Paris, for the publication’s latest issue. The Russian beauty was styled by Siwha Lee, who chose feminine and billowing pieces from designers like Marc Jacobs, Alexander McQueen and Elie Saab. Vincent de Moro styled her tousled locks while makeup artist Marie Duhart completed Varvarova’s flawless face.
