The Vogue Hellas 'Sex Symbol' photoshoot features Netherlands-based model Valerie van der Graaf. Here van der Graaf assumes a slew of seductive camping looks as she roasts hot dogs on a red hot grill. The production's seductive aspect is driven home by a nude male model who pops in and out of the background.
This Greek editorial was taken by photographer Mara Desipris. Desipris has emphasized the hedonistic side of camping, one that is often side swept in place of common references to bug nets, animals and unappetizing cuisine. Stylist Michael Pandos has reinterpreted these references, instead displaying glamorous couture pieces in the forms of a-line dresses, pleated skirts and retro handkerchiefs. These ensembles have allowed Vogue Hellas to hone in on outdoor aesthetics, and while others may not have caught on yet, this publication is certainly leading the way.
