Ormond Gigli

Models in Windows, NYC

A striking and meticulously orchestrated photograph capturing dozens of elegantly dressed women posed within the individual window frames of a condemned New York City brownstone building. Gigli's masterful composition transforms the building's facade into a vibrant grid of color and femininity, each model occupying her own distinct rectangular space. The image balances the grandeur of mid-century fashion with the raw, urban texture of a disappearing architectural landscape.
