Joan Smalls & Raquel Zimmermann in ‘To Rome With Love’ for Vogue Magazine March 2013

Models Joan Smalls and Raquel Zimmermann take a romantic art tour of Italy for an androgynous editorial spread in Vogue March 2013 entitled, To Rome with Love , where the two passionately embrace, kiss, and flirt throughout the city.

Photographed by the remarkable Mario Testino , the Puerto Rican and Brazilian beauties are styled as a polished lesbian couple wearing male-inspired pant suits and feminine ensembles from Louis Vuitton, Giorgio Armani, Saint Laurent by Hedi Slimane, Dolce & Gabbana and more chosen by Tonne Goodman .

Hair stylist Christiaan gives Joan a straight, slicked down look to top her masculine duds, while Raquel dons an untamed afro. Both are wearing Estée Lauder ‘Pure Color’ Lipstick — nude on Joan and deep plum on Raquel picked by makeup artist Tom Pecheux .
