An effortless zebra-printed look, composed by a long sleeve shirt and boxer shorts, lands the cover in SILENCE. Black coordinated underwear and a velvet chocker necklace by VI VALENTINA ILARDI are layered underneath. The leather patch-work vest comes from the stylist’s own archive, while the jeweled belt-skirt is by MISENITHE. Black pointy boots from TEXANO STORE’s vintage collection seal the deal.

On top of a sandy-stone pile she rests, wearing a long-sleeved black top over an ivory babydoll with long strings hanging-out the neckine, both by PALMATIC STUDIO. A trinity of belts by MISENITHE, TEXANO STORE and the EIC’s own archive cinch the waistline. The “Lucile Tulips” pattern by SILENCE is printed all over these silk palazzo-pants, short enough to let us take a glimpse of the embroidered black boots by SONORA. The hat-bandana combo tied on her neck comes from STETSON’s collection. The gold & silver “Mr Sandman” ring by AMANTS DE LA LUNE is paired with a studded one by PALMATIC STUDIO.

A long tie-dye silk and lace dress by SILENCE sets the mood for a walk in the wild, topped by a embroidered belt-skirt by MISENITHE. The knee-high boots are by SONORA and the wide-brimmed rancher hat is from TEXANO STORE’s curated selection. PALMATIC STUDIO’s ring stands out.

The movement of her hair-strands imitates the intricate sea-life pattern populating these silk pajama-pants by SILENCE. They are styled with a typical western denim shirt, rolled up just enough for us to admire the magnificent “Guanto di Saturno” handcuff-bracelet combo by AMANTS DE LA LUNE. The Melanzana-Crusted suede boots by SONORA complete the look.

This theatrical backdrop hosts the grand finale, dressed in a long night-gown by SILENCE, tightened on the waistline by a couple of belts, one from the EIC’s own archive and a white one by MISENITHE, paired with a tank-top and leather pants from the same collection. A SILENCE belt is used as a bandana, layered under a wide-brimmed hat by STETSON. A Navajo necklace from the TEXANO STORE murders this look.
