The Life Rhapsodic

American Vogue serves up a delightful spread featuring some of the industry's leading black models. Joan Smalls, Anais Mali, Jourdan Dunn, Ajak Deng, Arlenis Sosa and Chanel Iman pose alongside a bohemian cast of actors, dancers and musicians in the season's finest prints by Louis Vuitton, Marni, Chanel, Dennis Basso and Marc Jacobs. Photographer Norman Jean Roy captures beautifully the individual spirit and exuberance of each of the models and shows why these girls are at the top of their game.
