What's "Black & White & Chic All Over?" If you guessed Hilary Rhoda in Glamour Magazine's December 2014 issue, then you hit the nail right on the head!
The model is a classic beauty, so it makes sense that fashion editor Jillian Davison would want to dress her in a classic look. Really, though, how can you go wrong with black and white? On their own, each color looks phenomenal. Put together, the contrast is stunning and instantly sophisticated. Not that Rhoda needs any help being stunning or sophisticated -- her impeccable brow arch does that all on its own.
The creative team was rounded out by hair stylist Renato Campora, makeup artist Fulvia Farolfi and legendary photographer Patrick Demarchelier.
