Fashion designers have long looked to architecture for inspiration (see Givenchy’s latest collection in honor of Gio Ponti). So it makes sense that fashion magazines have scouted the world for the most iconic, majestic, interesting buildings to compliment the clothing in its pages. From model Lisa Fonssagrives hanging off the Eiffel Tower to Coco Rocha racing across the TWA Terminal’s campus in New York’s JFK Airport, here are some of our favorite architecture-fashion shoots.
