Description

Three women stand outside, modelling for a fashion editorial. They are dressed in similar black, gothic-inspired outfits with fringed dresses, fishnet stockings, and garter belts. The women are lined up at eye level, their dark hair styled into bouffants and other dramatic shapes. The setting appears to be a street with houses in the background, with flat lighting illuminating the subjects. The image is a black-and-white shot with grey-scale color grading, and a magazine cover is visible. The mood is dark and theatrical.
