Sisterhood embarks on a playful voyage over sunkissed landscapes.
If you traveled a little ways further past its looming metropolis, you’d find yourself surrounded by the lush forestry of upstate New York. It was here and across Mexico’s sunkissed terrain that photographer Lærke Rose Møllegard chose as the settings for her explorations in the definition of joy.
Stylist Hannah Krall from the New York unit tapped into the wide-eyed wonder of childhood, reveling in the sheer magic of playing dress-up as a young girl—a pure, tender feeling that can be forgotten all too easily. Krall told Vogue Philippines, “I think we lose our sense of joy and adventure with dressing up as we get older, so with this story I wanted the models to convey a purer and more naïve self-expression with the looks I selected.”
For the Mexico shoot, stylist Angel Macias had another idea to build upon the happiness that was already surrounding them, inspiration sprouting from the soil on which they stood: “It was an excellent opportunity to be more present and be able to discover and share the amazing times with the team.”
