This spread by Matthew Brookes for Vogue Turkey November 2010 is an androgynous series with a set of what looks like identical twins. However, the two models Andrej Pejic and Jana Knauerova aren't actually related by blood.
Regardless, stylist Konca Aykan does a great job in bending genders and creating an identity crisis between the models. The matching platinum blond locks, listless stares and thick eyebrows on this duo makes for an effective blur between sexes. Check out the featured gallery for a sneak peek at the Vogue Turkey November 2010 editorial.
