In honour of the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics, here’s a high-altitude image of Kristen McMenamy on the slopes.

Shot at Mammoth Mountain in the Sierra Nevada, California, “Snow Whites” is a twenty-page portfolio by Arthur Elgort and Grace Coddington devoted to “gleaming white technochic.”

McMenamy’s ski pants were made using Very Easy Vogue 9369 (previously seen in Elgort and Coddington’s “High-Toned Tweeds“) with fabric from B&J Fabrics — as always “edited by Vogue.”

(Hair, Didier Malige for Frederic Fekkai Beauté; makeup, Mary Greenwell.)
