The Vogue Italia September 2011 Photo Shoot is Full of Dark Wonder

— August 31, 2011 — Fashion
The Vogue Italia September 2011 editorial takes on a haunting look that is sure to stay on your mind even after you're done clicking through the images.

Featuring a model with dark ensembles and charcoal makeup looks, the photo shoot is definitely different from the fun and airy aesthetic that has been prominent in magazines during the summer months.

Stunning ball gowns and richly embellished styles make the photos pop with an air of luxury.

Take a look through the photo shoot to see how beauty can transcend through even the most gritty situations.
