Lydia Beesley and Franziska Klein slumber under the sea for the 'Dream Weavers' editorial in the How to Spend It May 2014 issue. Judging by their tranquil faces, this is one dream that these girls don't want to be awoken from.
While it's impossible to tell if what they're dreaming of is naughty or nice, the girls' faces look positively angelic. It helps that fashion editor Damian Foxe dressed them in flowy dresses, floral wreaths and overall lacy confections. Making an argument for the naughtier side (and perhaps for the sake of contrast) the ladies sport siren-red lips and wildly tousled tresses.
Zena Holloway photographed the underwater nymphets, being careful not to disrupt their precious beauty sleep.
