Super Normal Supermodels

W Magazine pulled together their fabulous fashion strings for a beautiful supermodel melting pot of note. Queen Kate, Lara Stone and Daria Werbowy are just some of the gorgeous faces on show, in this "Super Normal Supermodel" themed shoot. 

The super normal models dress-down in basic 90's fashion with a few punk elements thrown in - think sneakers, sweatshirts, jeans, knitwear and boots by Diesel, Versace, Dr Martens, Marc Jacobs, Calvin Klein Underwear and Agent Provocateur.

The trend of depicting supermodels as "normal", genetically blessed creatures is a ridiculously beautiful one, but these beauties are anything, but normal. 




Having worked at a modelling agency myself, I can honestly say that most models are incredibly dedicated to their craft - hours are spent ensuring that their assets are always in pure perfection. 


This unrealistic ideal of beauty is anything but normal. The glossy W Magazine spread seems to do little in terms of depicting any colour - this is an all-white affair, brimming with perfect hips, famous faces and a thinly veiled obsession with skinny creatures of the runway.


Normal? Nah. But, the spread is still an iconic summary of 90's fashion history, which you have to see to appreciate!
