The Alasdair McLellan August 2011 W Spread is Urban Chic

The Alasdair McLellan August 2011 W editorial entitled ‘Scene on the Streets’ does just that—explore a variety of scenes, settings and subcultures in the streets of New York, from Madison Avenue to Washington Square Park. Models Lindsay Wixon and Daphne Groeneveld maintain a chemistry throughout the shoot that virtually guarantees the rising stars will work together again.

With a look that is just the right amount of fresh and unusual, both of these ladies are the perfect subjects for an artful shoot like this, which moves them through a variety of looks, each one suiting them more than the next. From upper-Manhattan socialites to edgy schoolgirl hipsters, Wizon and Groenenveld are a dynamic duo whose versatility and talent shines through McLellan’s lens.

Implications - The variety of subcultures and styles that exist across the vast New York City landscape is the inspiration behind much art and photography. The iconic city means something different to each person who experiences it, and art that captures these meanings through any medium, excites an emotional nostalgia in its viewers.
