The Abbey Lee Kershaw editorial for Vogue China August 2010 proves that this fashion model can do just about anything, or nothing at all, and still look fantastic. The shoot features simple poses, simple fashion and hardly any emotion; yet, I'm drawn to the incredibly beauty of the end result. This alone shows the talent of both Kershaw and photographer Hedi Slimane.
The ensembles were styled by Nicoletta Santoro and featured designs from Yves Saint Laurent, Maison Martin Margiela and Ann Demeulemeester. Be sure to check out the gallery for more superb shots.
