W Magazine meshes fashion and art in their October 2009 fashion spread, ‘Art and Commerce.’ Supermodels Feja Beha Erichsen and Raquel Zimmermann play a museum-happy couple in the spread shot by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin.
W fashion editor and stylist Alex White clothed the androgynous Beha-Erichsen in an all-white three-piece suit and matching hat while the blonde Zimmerman plays an eccentric and colorful femme fatale. The models mesh art and commerce at the Parisian Centre Pompidou and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
