urban gabriel.

Vinda Sonata


not so long time ago, my favorite blogger pandora did photoshots based on the lucifer rising movie (directed by kenneth anger, 1972).

this somehow triggered me to do costume interpretation of archangel gabriel.

ah, talking about angels; they are such enchanting creatures to be interpreted, yes? i just wonder how will s/he looks if s/he is being sent to earth in the form of a human being. 

my interpretation of the style is "simplicity with goth edges". in my case, basic oversized white tee paired with tough-chic staples such as leather gauntlets and cage heels.

some prefer the all-black look, though. like what actor andy whitfield wore in the movie gabriel (directed by shane abbess, 2007).

so, how would you interpret an angel's costume when s/he is being sent to earth in a human form? 

i'd be more than glad to read them all in the comments ♥
