Description

Captured by photographer Alasdair McLellan for W Magazine's Pearls of Wisdom project, model Julia Nobis poses wearing a structured black evening gown and a delicate pearl necklace. The subject stands against a stylized backdrop depicting a misty, muted forest scene with bare trees. Dramatic studio lighting highlights the intricate drapery of the gown and the textures of the fabric. Charles Levai and Kevin Tekinel served as creative directors, with fashion styling by Brian Molloy, hair styling by Tom Wright, and makeup by Thomas De Kluyver.
