A hidden beauty, restrained from daylight. Life’s poisonous oasis. The flora of Black Dahlia, the Queen of the Night, cursed to never show beauty whilst in sunlight. A toxic burst of colour against the crisp, yet gloomy night air.

Darkness beholds such beauty aside from the romance of death and destruction. A seductive, alluring beauty of those kept firmly in the shadows, those tormented by a blur of delicacy and power.

A collaboration between photographer Bella Kotak and fashion designer Karolina Laskowska moulds a juxtaposition of dark romance with luxury flora to create this alluring and hypnotic editorial ‘Blossom Of The Night’
