The Vogue 'The Silk Road' editorial stars two heavy weights: top model Kate Moss and British actor Chiwetel Ejiofor, who will soon be seen in the highly anticipated film '12 Years a Slave.' There are no rags for him in this photoshoot, however. Instead, he is dressed in a range of sharp suits to better complement the resort style of the blonde beauty herself.
Shot by famed photographer Mario Testino, the Vogue 'The Silk Road' editorial is set to appear in the December 2013 issue of the American publication. It is set in Istanbul, which the fashion reflects accordingly. Styled by Tonne Goodman, the wardrobe captures the "urbanity and refinement of the city itself," as written in the magazine. Sophistication never looked so good or so exotic.
