Ultra feminine, the How to Spend It 'Swell Belle' editorial showcases vintage-inspired swimwear just in time for the sweltering summer season. While each outfit tastefully reveals only a bit of skin, at least in relation to much skimpier modern bikinis and one-pieces, there is an innate sexiness to them that will seduce readers of both genders.
The How to Spend It Swell Belle editorial was shot by New York-based Guyanese photographer Kevin Sinclair. It stars model Naty Chabanenko. Playing the perfect pinup girl, the Russian beauty was glamorously styled by Damian Foxe. He pulled pieces from the rack of such labels as Dolce & Gabbana, Tsumori Chisato, Rochas, Prada, Marios Schwab, Chanel and Versace. The '50s beach bombshell look was perfected with red lips by Fumiaki Nakagawa and a slicked coif by Kayla.
