The Harper’s Bazaar Australia December 2012 issue features a visually stimulating editorial that takes on unconventionally ornamental swimwear.
Titled 'Wash & Wear,' this spread stars model Annabella Barber whose striking looks glimmer. She dons glitzy swimwear pieces by the likes of fashion houses We Are Handsome and Sass & Bide and Dior. Each glamorous outfit was put together by fashion director Thelma McQuillan, who artfully contrasts each decorate garment with the blue water.
Perhaps the most breathtaking facet of this editorial spread is photographer Simon Lekias' ability to capture the paradise of the Maldive Islands. This editorial story provides timely inspiration for the winter break as fashionistas embark on exotic vacations. Perhaps oceanic resorts will have holidaymakers glistening in the sunlight as they sport looks inspired from the Harper’s Bazaar Australia December 2012 issue.
