Photographed for the magazine's October 2011 issue, the BlackBook 'Working Girls' spread offers a display of sleek, sophisticated styles perfect for office-going gals.
The appropriately titled spread, photographed by Jason Kim, features models Maud Welzen and Ava Smith, both of whom look sharp and no-nonsense dressed in powerfully perfect outwear from designers including Theyskens, Theory, Yves Saint Laurent and Max Azria.
With hair by Shlomi Mor and makeup by Samantha Trinh, the BlackBook 'Working Girls' editorial was expertly styled by Christopher Campbell, who dressed the models in undeniably chic outfits that could be worn from desk to dinner. The work-ready range of styles included long, classic camel coats and floor-sweeping, black trenches as well as a fashionable plaid jacket.
