Paying homage to the renowned genius and artist Pablo Picasso and his 'light drawings,' some of the industry's top models take a break from the flurry of fashion month to get artistic and try their hand at painting with light.
Pulling a Picasso and creating their own playful, hypnotic images, the catwalkers leave the fashion, hair and makeup behind and swap fashion month for an exciting art project and a seductively dreamy photography series.
Captured by photographer Elizabeth Griffin, these portraits of super models like Karlie Kloss and Martha Hunt among others, have the models painting with light and looking childishly cheeky in them.
Combing high-fashion and art has resulted in portraits that are fun and artsy -- not to mention super cool. These shots may not end up in magazine pages but they'll definitely be a favorite for the models themselves.
