Photographer Rony Shram, lensing Anastasia Bondarenko in “Long Nights” with styling by Masaki Kataoka, has nailed uptown modern ‘noir’ with the lights on. Gritty elegance doesn’t come easy and red lips never looked quite so breathlessly proper up against a brick wall.

Contrasts play many parts in this image play, and the clothes aren’t bad either. Damn, we even like the hair! When have you ever heard us discuss fashion and hair at Anne of Carversville!

Sokozine is a small production, but let’s hope the big guys take arty note of a job really well done. If Bergdorf Goodman or Neiman Marcus wanted to loosen up … call this crew! Photos via Fashion Gone Rogue.
