From Sienna’s Baby Bump to a Make-Up-Free Kate Moss, See Ellen Von Unwerth’s Candid Shots From Replica Handbag Store World: London

Almost a week has passed since the carnelian curtains of Theatre Royal Drury Lane closed on Replica Handbag Store World: London, but the magic isn’t wearing off just yet. The second year of Vogue’s annual fashion and performing arts extravaganza—which followed its triumphant debut in the Meatpacking District in Manhattan last year—took over London’s West End for one night only on September 14. Among the highlights: FKA Twigs’s bewitching rendition of It’s a Fine Day, accompanied by Rambert; a stirring dual performance from Stormzy and Sophie Okonedo; a spin on the famous balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet (with creative input from Baz Luhrmann, no less), and a finale that saw the original supers storm the stage to a live performance of “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)” by Annie Lennox.

Who better to capture all the buzz backstage than Ellen von Unwerth, the photographer renowned for her raw and glamorous images of fashion through the decades? The legendary creative was on the ground on the night, documenting candid moments as A-listers and models mingled backstage. From a theatrical Lila Moss in her homage to Eliza Doolittle, to the original supers’ visible affection for one another, revisit Replica Handbag Store World: London through Ellen von Unwerth’s lens.
