This W Magazine March 2014 fashion spread uses zoomed in shots of the model’s outfit to create visual flow.
Photographer John Scarisbrick snaps up this chic shoot with a bright blue background to make the colors of the garments really pop. Model Samantha Gradoville’s face is in only two of the images, but she looks lovely and chic in those shots. Her hair is pushed and held back, while on her face her eyes are shadowed with light brown and her lips are painted with a frosty nude.

A good example of that is one picture in which only Gradoville’s bust and legs are shown. She is stretching her legs apart while standing and holding down a large striped purse with the same colors as the clothes she's wearing.
