With superstar Beyonce on its current cover, it seems only fitting that this editorial from The Gentlewoman SS 2013 issue is as sophisticated and beautiful as the sultry singer.
Featuring nine stunning images of model Guinevere Van Seenus in one-piece swimsuits, the photo shoot is a monochromatic collection of simple beauty at its finest. The series was captured by Zoe Ghertner and has been stripped down to the bare minimum: a clear shot of the model and a focus on what she's wearing. Although some may scoff at the sex appeal of a one-piece, this editorial shows just how seductive it is by revealing just the right amount of skin.
Sick of looking like every other girl on the beach? Try one of the suits from this shoot from The Gentlewoman SS 2013 and you'll have heads turning in no time.
