Andrea and Jade explain the inspiration behind their striking image: “We wanted to create a strong colour that had a sense of effortlessness about it. Our fashion inspiration was taken from the Balenciaga catwalk collection and we had our model’s outfit made especially for the competition in order to reflect this bold style.”
