Shop the look for less: Kulhari’s white blouse is thrifted from Goodwill, her leather pants are BlankNYC from Revolve and
her corset and hat are available on Amazon.

Sheer Moment

Colin Jones is styled in a black pussybow blouse. Neutral colors are elegant and timeless— they represent simple sophistication.

American Sweetheart

Story Book Serenity

The backdrop of our the shoot, a horse farm in Wellington, Florida, gives off the light and whimsical aura to paint a scene straight out of Bridgerton.

Connection

What is modern love? It’s the best from the old and new—the fairytale mood of the renaissance and the contemporary notion of nonconformity.
