Model Milou Sluis is the epitome of an elegant tourist in the Marie Claire Netherlands 'Ciao Sisiliana' editorial. Dressed as sophisticated as any cultured woman would (or, at the very least, should) be, she could easily be mistaken for a royal on vacation. Perhaps even a real life modern Princess Ann from 'Roman Holiday,' if you will. It doesn't hurt that it is shot in Italy--Taormina, Sicily, to be exact.
Captured by Dennison Bertram, a photographer based in Europe, the Marie Claire Netherlands 'Ciao Sisiliana' editorial appears in the August 2013 issue of the magazine. The blonde Dutch beauty was outfitted in full skirts, retro swimwear and striped paints by fashion editor Marjoleen Mos. Her ladylike look was perfected with soft curls and a flawless face by hair and makeup artist Branislay Nikic.
