If you don’t have the time to watch every runway show for the spring and summer seasons, this W Magazine February 2014 editorial is here to help. Famous fashion photographer Patrick Demarchelier captures this essentials spread in minimalist black and white with a downplayed grey backdrop. Featured are two models -- Joan Smalls and Jourdan Dunn. Their short black hair is swept off their faces and their makeup is understated so attention will not be taken away from the clothing. The two look as though they could be twins or at least sisters.
