Strength in Numbers

The February 2011 edition of US Vogue features a mammoth cast of thirty five of modelling's current and newest faces, in a sublimely beautiful editorial lensed by Mario Testino. The editorial entitled "Gangs of New York", showcases a diverse selection of models sequestered in groups according to hair colour, country or continent of origin and ethnicity. Wearing fashions by Marc Jacobs, Calvin Klein, Proenza Schouler, Ralph Lauren, and Rodarte, the images beautifully convey the individual aesthetic of each collection. The end result is an editorial which is whimsical and delightful, whilst  celebrating diversity and beauty in all of it's guises.
