Edie Campbell for Alexander McQueen

Photographed by top fashion photographer David Sims, the rising fashion star appears in a series of black and white images, showing off the Elizabethan-style outfits with their luxurious pearl detailing, hoop skirts and plenty of silk and metal embroidery. 

Born in 1990, Campbell is the daughter of modernist architect Sophie Hicks (who has designed stores for Chloé and Yohji Yomamoto). A bright spark herself, the model recently graduated from the pretigious Courtauld Institute of Art with a First class degree in Art History, telling Vogue UK « it might come in handy when I get a serious job later in life. »   

In fact, Campbell and Sims are becoming something of a dream team, having also teamed up for this season’s Jil Sander campaign.
