The [city skyline](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/back-to-the-city) is brought to life in Billy Rood's 'Watermark' series, capturing models Grace Hartzel and Katrina Hoernig atop a skyscraper's roof at nightfall. Highlighting the [nightlife of the concrete jungle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-54) in each shot, Rood's series also features impeccable styling by Favia, showing two chic city dwellers ready for a night out.

In lush fur vests and sophisticated minidresses, Grace and Katrina sport looks that work perfectly for any 20-something preparing to take over the town after a day in the office. Proving that red lips rarely go out of style, the duo shows sophistication with a youthful twist as they pose in the twilight.
