This W Magazine March 2014 fashion spread shows two stunning young women in an old dilapidated home.
Fashion photographer Lachlan Bailey snaps up this quite adorable shoot with a very rustic and rundown backdrop. There are two models posing: Rosie Tapner and Kristine Froseth. The name of the editorial is 'Modern Romance' so I'm guessing that that they are supposed to be more than friends.
Both Tapner and Froseth are styled in very preppy looks for this W Magazine March 2014 style story. Lots of jackets, jeans and collared shirts make them look ready for a chilly spring or even autumn day. With their light brown hair pulled back into loose ponytails and their similar style sentiments, they almost look like twins. Maybe when Vogue says 'Modern Romance' they are taking queues from Game of Thrones character.
