One Cool Thing: Girls in Windows

Ran across this outstanding beautiful image by Ormond Gigli.  The photographer was inspired by the brownstones getting demolished in his neighborhood, and immortalized the building with dozens of women in "their finest attire."  Shouldn't this be recreated some way?  Or has it been?

Anna Wintour and Stella McCartney turned it out.
