This editorial shoot, photographed by Laura Gordon, showcases Bella Belle’s “Poetry of Love” collection of shoes and was shot with gowns and accessories from various brands and seasons. Inspired by the writings of female poets, “Poetry of Love” editorial explores the depth and complexities of love. Each shoe pictured is endearingly named after a famous female poet and Joy Proctor, who creative directed this series, wanted the model in the photos to be a living depiction of a poet’s muse. Set at Villa Balbiano on the poetic Lake Como and with an incredible team of creatives, it is equally a visual pleasure and a poignant story about love
