The V Magazine September 2013 editorial has been themed the Idol Issue. In reference to the model industry, that idol involves Lauren Hutton, who very few can hold a candle to. Nevertheless, model Catherine McNeil takes a stab, to much success. With her own signature gap tooth smile, or one that is made to look gap-toothed, and deep set eyes, it is not surprising that she was tapped to channel the legendary supermodel.
Shot by photographer Sharif Hamza, the V Magazine September 2013 editorial was styled by Tom Van Dorpe. He highlighted 70s-inspired pieces from such labels as Sonia Rykiel and Rag & Bone. The retro looks were finished with a flawless face by makeup artist Benjamin Puckey.
