The W Magazine November 2012 issue features a cover editorial that not only showcases Hollywood's hottest starlets, but also pays tribute to vintage styles of the past.
The sultry visages of the starring models in this piece were captured by photographer extraordinaire Steven Klein. This fashion spread is part of the magazine's 40th anniversary celebration as a celebrated and forward-thinking fashion publication. For this occasion, actresses Scarlett Johansson, Keira Knightley, Rooney Mara and Mia Wasikowska pose in vintage styles paying tribute to the styles of the "four decades of fashion, scandals, art, and beautiful people."
Each startlet portrays a decade of the publication's trajectory from the 70s to the 2000s as styled by the Edward Enninful. The result is a stunning piece of edgy editorial work in this W Magazine November 2012 cover feature.
