Vogue Russia serves up a dose of in your face beauty with a lively editorial from Terry Tsiolis starring Sedene Blake, Jeneil Williams, Reina Montero, Shena Moulton and Aminata Niaria. The studio shoot is elevated by Simon Robins‘ color coordinated styling; pieces from Lagerfeld, Viktor and Rolf and Topshop are mixed together to create a series of seamless ensembles, but the clothes aren’t the only standout. Each of the girls brings her own flair to the story with graceful and energetic poses; whether they’re fighting over a camo-fanny pack or moving to the rhythm, they look stunning.

Jeneil Williams is a force of nature, look at her latest cover of i-D and the accompanying story and you will see just why she is one of the girls of the moment. The energy, sensuality and grace that she brings to Daniel Jackson‘s images is unparalleled; Marie Chaix‘s provocative styling is brought to life by Jeneil’s expressive movements, no one else works it in quite the same way she does. and seeing her do her thing in editorials is an absolute joy.

Hey, any chance to post pictures of modeling legend, Kristen McNemany, I will take it. This photo is the exact reason why Calvin Klein will always be relevant. The embrace of the legendary (Kristen) with a modern day beauty (Doutzen) shows how the brand will always keep you guessing.

You may remember Jeneil Williams from her days as a Model of the Week but the stunning Kingston born beauty is back and better than ever with an edit in Teen Vogue and a slot in the David Sims helmed Benetton campaign. Daniel Jackson shoots Jeneil looking adorable in an eclectically styled story that is as young and playful as you’d expect from Teen Vogue.
