Plasticity, grace, devotion—so much can be taken from the art of movement and gifted onto the everyday. Photographer Tyler Mitchell and fashion editor Ronald Burton III studied these concepts this season through a select group of professional dancers. Inspired by the contortions of each body, they used the newly-formed canvases to stage Document‘s 2016 holiday gift guide, featuring the likes of Balenciaga, J.W. Anderson, Y-3, and more.
