Paloma Elsesser's Family Reunion by Daniel Jackson for Vogue US June-July 2021

Top model Paloma Elsesser introduces the entire world to her family, bringing together four generations of Shockley-Elsessers for Vogue Magazine’s June-July 2021 issue. Jorden Bickham styles ‘We Are Family’ in luxe looks from Alexander McQueen, Burberry, Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci, Marni, Proenza Schouler, Theophilio and more.

Photographer Daniel Jackson [IG] captures the family portraits with words that affirm the great joy and creative talent that radiates from many of America’s families of color. Read all the details at Vogue, where you will meet: Paloma’s mother, Anedra Shockley-Elsesser; grandmother, 95-year-old Audrey Shockley; sister IMG model Ama Elsesser; Paloma’s older sister director Kanyessa McMahon; Kanyessa’s six-year-old son, Daschel; Paloma’s brother Sage Elsesser;

Model Ama Elsesser likens their troop of siblings to “a tribe—a crazy tribe. We ride for each other.” Their “centerpoint,” the model says, is their mother, Anedra: “She is our fearless leader and she guides us with love.”

AOC’s personal favorite quote from the fashion editorial is one talking to family names, including Paloma’s nephew Daschel:

“My mother loves a lot of middle names,” McMahon says, “and I followed her lead, so Daschel’s full name is Daschel Tennessee Sharkey McMahon. Tennessee is to represent both my Grandma Audrey and my “Papa” Madison, as they were both born there. While they met and spent their 57 years together in Los Angeles, I love that, in a way, they were fated in their foundation…I wanted my son to know all things good in me, and thus him, flow from them.”

AOC Googled Daschel — knowing that with all this creative blood and talent — we were sure to find him. LOL, we were not disappointed. Find ‘Dash’ here at 1981.
