The Summer 2015 i-D Magazine Anna Ewers editorial made the model appear as if in a family photoshoot alongside John Waters and Mink Stole. Together the team came across much like the typical father, mother and daughter trio, albeit with some serious couture twists.
In the shots, McLellan captured a pink fur-lined coat, a high rise leather skirt and a dainty pajama set. In spite of the kinship motifs that informed this production, there were some morose elements present, seen in a weathered gravestone.
One of the most memorable aspects of this i-D Magazine production is its striking display of cosmetics. In place of dainty, subdued make up were dark, drawn on eyebrows and winged eyeliner.
