For W Magazine's 10th anniversary art issue [1], BFFs Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid tapped into their artistic sides for a cover shoot. Titled "Placebo Pets," the project featured body paint, tulle gowns, paper walls, and oh yes, even a puppy. Inspired by the models' close friendship — they are known as KenGi [2] after all — artists Lizzie Fitch and Ryan Trecartin worked with the girls to give them a makeover in which they had animal-like qualities, essentially creating the idea of friendly "humanoid pets."
While some loved this artistic expression, other readers raised questions on the extent of digitally manipulating [3] Gigi and Kendall's bodies and faces for the cover. Regardless of the different opinions, however, Kendall and Gigi appeared to have a blast on set, laughing and posing in printed dresses while stepping out of a tent. The two even came together for a performance art piece and shot some BTS snaps that proved their friendship is as real as it gets. Scroll on to see all the images from W Magazine's art issue and then watch Kendall and Gigi in a stare-down challenge.
