The Vogue Japan editorial titled A Uniform Way of Life will be featured in the magazine's June 2015 issue. The production comes across as highly militaristic as models Amanda Wellsh, Aleah Morgan and Zuri Tibby appear to be in engaged in army-like training.
Stylist Giovanna Battaglia matched the commanding nature of this Vogue Japan production with police officer-esque caps, long dark green coats and white jackets dotted with stars. These pieces are exactly what one would expect to find within a chic law enforcement squad.
Photographer Emma Summerton shot this forceful faux troop set. A variety of angles and perspectives got at the talent of the featured women who together posed with serious faces and arresting expressions.
