This Madame Figaro January 2014 pictorial is all about how to beat the heat while still looking stylish and chic.
Photographer Naomi Yang snaps up this skimpy fashion shoot set in front of some colorfully painted walls and even with a pool floaty. Model Ellinore Erichsen looks sweltering, in that she looks great and like she wishes she was indoors. She leans against walls while wearing bright blue eye shadow that spills out of the corners of her lids.
Because this is a summer-themed spread, the clothing options in this Madame Figaro January 2014 editorial are mostly made up of cropped tops and bikinis. There are also some light summer dresses. Most of the tops are paired with high-waisted shorts. The accessories in this shoot are downplayed, mostly consisting of gold hoop earrings in different shapes and one perfectly round orange and white choker necklace.
