Beauty (Tips) In Black & White - i-D Magazine

i-D Magazine serves up a dose of raw fashion beauty with a trio of editorials for its October issue. "Stop Being So Insecure," "Stop Smoking" and "I Like Mint Flavor Lip Gloss" brings together a mixture of legendary and upcoming models including, Kristen McMenamy, Liya Kebede, Julia Stegner, Jourdan Dunn, Lara Stone, Carmen Kass and Joan Smalls, and presents them in beautiful black & white format, nearly bare. The editorial also serves up some simple beauty tips from the models themselves. The other striking thing about this ed are, strangely enough, the nipples. They're quite strange and interesting on some of the models. They definitely make you go hmmmmm....but in an interesting way.
