It seems that trends from my mom’s days have come around full circle, and the latest shoot for Mirage Spring 2010 is doing it perfectly. Leggy brunette Darla Baker shows off a retro blue two-piece bathing suit while sprawled across a vintage car and rocks some serious dark eye makeup.
The sensual spread was shot by photographer Loic Peoch and Ludovic Andral, and their impeccable use of colors and shadows make the editorial look painted rather than photographed. I think I am going to be taking a little stroll through mom’s closet before spring gets here!
