The 'Lunch Break' editorial spread in W Magazine July 2010 celebrates the month of July. Considering the importance of the 4th of July in American history, fashion magazines are using this celebration as a muse for their spreads.

The editorial features models [Tao Okamoto and Liu Wen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chinese-golden-age-models) and was shot by photographer Terry Richardson. In this 'Lunch Break' spread in W Magazine July 2010, you can see that the models are either wrapped up in the [American flag](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patchwork-americana), dressed up as the Statue of Liberty or simply taking a break amidst the country's celebrations.
