If you thought you could pack sensibly for your fabulous vacation this summer, think again: Ben Watt’s "Summer of Fun" editorial for Elle France follows model Marloes Horst on a summer vacation adventure and pays particular attention to a wide variety of fabulous accessories. The sky-high designer platforms Horst dons are sure to throw your designer-monogrammed luggage over the weight limit.
Far from depicting your usual coming-of-age summer backpacking trip, the shoot evokes a carefree bohemian ideal of traveling and enjoying the sun. The story is formatted like a high-fashion scrapbook chronicling the model’s jet-set adventures as she hops from one exotic location to another and takes her designer outfits from day to night.
The colorful retro emsembles styled by Elissa Cannelle Castelbou include highly coveted fashions by Celine, Fendi, Bottega Veneta and MiuMiu among other high-end brands.
