The Horse Magazine June 2014 editorial might not take place in the Mediterranean, but it is hard not to think of such an exotic locale with the predominance of bright blues, crisp whites and fiery oranges. And that's just regarding the fashion. The clear skies, white clouds, turquoise waters and rocky terrain is slightly ambiguous as is.
Shot by photographer Greg Swales, who also captured the issue's cover, the Horse Magazine June 2014 editorial is titled, 'Solitud Time to Think.' Peaceful one moment and serious the next, he contemplates in style amid his epic surroundings. He is clad in vibrant pieces from the likes of Givenchy, Balenciaga and more. Some of the images are juxtaposed with abstract paintings that really bring out the color palette of both the outfits and the scenery.
