'The Power of Black' editorial stars Moss Models fresh faces Kamila and Kasia. The girls sport the 60s-inspired styles of Polish designer Anna Cichosz. From exaggerated bowl cuts to retro beauty looks, the duo are groomed by [makeup artist](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign) and wardrobe stylist Sylwia Smuniewska.

Smuniewska dresses the girls in an elegant, [all-black wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-tag-collection) consisting of the flowing fabrics, draped silhouettes and netted accent pieces synonymous with Anna Cichosz's glamorous garments.

Kasia and Kamila are lensed by photographer Wojtek Olszanka who captures a series of double-image exposures that are both artful and nostalgic. 'The Power of Black' portrait series combines artistic visuals along with [mod womenswear selects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren) that pay homage to a past style inspiration.
