Matthias Vriens-McGrath photographs model Behati Prinsloo, wearing the Prada hip-wader-inspired thigh-high boots, hanging out on the Santa Monica boardwalk for this month's Italian Flair.
In a refreshing twist to the usual beach shoot, there isn't a swimsuit or floral dress in sight, actually this editorial has a decidedly Fall/Winter feel to it. Stylist Sally Lyndley opts for a heavy layers, this season's must-have thigh-high boots, jackets, knits and flannel.
Implications - This shoot demonstrates how it is not always necessary to think within the box when it comes to fashion settings. Sometimes, taking the most contrasting clothing and environment is the best way for a clothing line to get noticed.
