‘Empire State of Mind' by Supermodels Pays a Fashionable Ode to

— September 19, 2011 — Pop Culture
How can I convince someone to watch the new ‘Empire State of Mind’ by Supermodels from Life and Times Magazine? All I have to say is this: runway supermodels and Jay-Z.

Jay-Z’s Life and Times Magazine recently released a viral video featuring some of the world’s top supermodels in the world. No, they’re not on a runway or doing some fancy, avant-garde photoshoot; instead, they’re all out in beautiful NYC lipsynching to the MC’s 2009 single ‘Empire State of Mind’ featuring Alicia Keys. While it’s quite different from the original music video, this is a cute, welcoming version that’s charming and pays homage to New York City brilliantly. Some familiar faces featured in the ‘Empire State of Mind’ by Supermodels clip includes Selita Ebanks, Jourdan Dunn, Andi Muise and Fabiana Mayer.

Again, it’s models lipsynching to Jay-Z. Need I really say more?
