Top model Kelly Mittendorf is given a run for her money by her fashion illustration twin. Appearing in the November 2014 issue of Fashion Magazine, Kelly Mittendorf makes quite the statement in bold looks perfect for the upcoming winter season. Predominantly showcasing fur looks, the outfits are all in vibrant jewel tones and feminine cuts that truly stand out.
Shot in studio by photographer Chris Nicholls, Kelly Mittendorf owes her evil twin version to artist Jamie Lee Reardin. The fashion illustrator manages to create a character that is just as full of style, if in a unique way. The looks worn by both were put together by fashion editor Zeina Esmail. Hairstylist Seiji and makeup artist Hung Vanngo perfected her look.
