Designer/Photographer Tom Ford and  Andre Leon Talley, Numero Russia’s international editor at large, cooked up this ultra-haute and ultra-glam fashion spread starring 70’s supermodel Pat Cleveland and South African model Conrad Bromfield. Cleveland, one of Halston’s favorite muses, simply looks divine and in her prime as she dons on some of the best pieces from Ford’s spring collection. Inside the pages, the designer stated, “I am happy to say that I am color blind, and I simply cast the two people that I most wanted to work with and who I find beautiful. Pat Cleveland is iconic, yet she is still completely current as a model. Her age is irrelevant because her aura and what she is able to bring to a shoot and project to the camera is ageless and timeless.”

“There are two people of color on the cover looking provocative and elegant. And Pat must be 60 now, proving that fashion is not about age. It crashes through the boundaries of ageism.” said Talley about the new issue. – Andre Leon Talley
