The Great Illusion: Lara Stone by Paolo Roversi

We loved this Vogue Italia photoshoot so much that we had to take a turn featuring it here.

Sometimes an editorial spread comes together with eerie brilliance: genius photography and model direction by Paolo Roversi and use of haute couture pieces by Atelier Versace, Chanel, and Valentino Haute Couture, as well as impeccable styling by Oliver Rizzo.

The star of this photo-shoot: shadow play creating a sinister fantasy that is frightfully beautiful.

Oh yeah, and sensational modeling by the incomparable Lara Stone.
