For the issue 68’s cover shoot we wanted to explore the contrast between classic bridal styling and a more rebellious presence. A little bit gothic, but not overtly so. Our model Clo’s heavily tattooed skin brought an edge that felt perfect against the refined interiors of the newly renovated The Trafalgar on King’s Road in London.

We built the concept around the idea of a bride moving through velvet curtains, private rooms and quiet corners like she owns the place. Bold corsetry, dramatic veils and pearls referenced traditional bridal codes, while pieces like the black gown from Anna Jónás and feathered hats by Awon Golding added some classic Rock n Roll Bride attitude.

We wanted the shoot to feel a little theatrical and decadent, but still intimate and private. A red velvet curtain in the basement ended up producing some of our favourite images of the day, with the spotlight creating the perfect stage for our Curtain Call.
