Interview Magazine's The Art of Shopping editorial comes as a part of the publication's March 2013 issue. Photographer Mikael Jansson oversaw the production which took place within an upscale department store, account for both the title and overall theme of the photoshoot.
Present within The Art of Shopping were models Meghan Collison, Irina Kravchenko and Janice Seinen Alida. The three women posed in remarkable manners before escalators, upscale counters, racks of shoes and fitting rooms, mimicking the experience of shopping for readers of Interview Magazine.
Stylist Karl Templer remained monochromatic in each image, sometimes working with matching long black gowns and other times with safari patterned suits, making the featured women appear much like carbon copies of one another.
