Photographed by Greg Kadel and styled by fashion director Naomi Smith, Vogue Australia’s shoot ‘Come As You Are’ features two stunning models, Abbey Lee and Catherine McNeil, topless. Although the nudity in fashion has been hip in magazine editorials for quite some time, this is the first time that Vogue Australia has taken the liberal route.
Sneak peeks of this shoot demonstrates that stripped off models are extremely hot and elegant. "The shoot was really all about the two girls," Smith told Vogue.com.au. "Their friendship really made the story work. They had such chemistry. It’s wonderful to work with two beautiful, Australian girls."
Lee and McNeil presented clothing by Givenchy, Rodarte, Gucci, Romance Was Born, Prada, Giles, and Stella McCartney evocatively in a elegant way. Please check the rest of the images above to see how affectionate, sensual and warm the shoots are from the images we’ve seen so far.
