MAYOWA NICHOLAS BY CHRISTIAN MACDONALD


Away from the urban jungle, utility wear assumes all the austerity of industry, rendered with a sensitive allure under the elements of an arid landscape in the latest fashion feature from our Fall 2016 issue. Nigerian beauty Mayowa Nicholas presents a powerful authority and rolls up her sleeves with a wardrobe of raw hems and weathered fibers, captured by the lens of Christian MacDonald in crisp black and white at the former airstrip at Floyd Bennett Field in New York. Key highlights of the new season—including Vetements‘s striking thigh-high boots—find their place amid an exquisite archive of vintage Thirties denim and other military-inspired wares styled by George Cortina in a feature that is timeless and contemporary all at once.

Take a look at our other fashion features from the issue, including Jean Campbell and Natalie Westling by Theo Wenner and Julia Banas by Dan Martensen. Get the entire new issue in print here.
