Thankfully, Models.com posted said editorial in full. Styled by the very talented Lucinda Chambers, Catherine looks beyond stunning and Mario Testino’s artistic ways have yet again, stolen my heart. It is a shoot full of noir, the romantic and has an air of perfect grace. Truly a trump for British Vogue’s September issue.

Beyond the clothing and make up this shoot came out so stunning it took my breath away. I had to post it. Enjoy the ethereal works of Testino and the Cat.

The necklace description just makes it a complete want and need for the noir, fetishista stylish goth girl.

Taxidermia is a modern re-imagining of Victorian mourning jewellery and attire, a graphic world of dark Victoriana, memento mori and macabre taxidermy.

An extravagant statement piece, the ‘Royal Deer’ necklace is not for the shy or faint of heart. A detailed and intricate pendant design featuring silhouetted stags, animal jaws and Victorian flourishes. Hand made in London from high quality materials, the necklace is constructed from heavy black chain and is adjustable in length. The pendant measures 13cm wide x 9cm high and is cut from glossy black laser cut perspex.
