Photographer Stig de Block captures 'Romeo + Juliet 96,' a cult cinema editorial that pays homage to the nostalgic film, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes. Styling for the feature is courtesy of Kate Housh who opts for a selection of youthful wardrobe picks that are a fresh translation of the film's costumes.
Lensed for website The Ones 2 Watch, this ditorial features models Aimee Elsendoorn and Eli Alders who pose as Romeo and Juliet, and highlights hair and makeup looks by Laura Noben.
The editorial's most memorable looks include oversized knits, and faux fur outerwear for Aimee, and tropical tops for Eli. The pieces are sourced from the likes of Carhartt, Alisa Rusakova, Nike and Quinten Mestdagh among other labels.
