Scuba diving may not be for all of us (especially for those fashionistas who prefer heels to fins), yet that doesn't mean it can't inspire some stylish duds; take these photos of Olivia by Phillip Papadis, for example. Although she clearly would not survive out in the ocean in those outfits, there is nevertheless an adventurous streak that gives each look an appealing edge.
Rachel Harris styled these photos of Olivia by Phillip Papadis to great perfection. With skin-tight garments, bold surf wear patterns and vibrant sea-inspired colors, the looks are both sporty and sexy. Sultry and slick, hair stylist and makeup artist Mae Taylor even made Olivia look as though she had just emerged from the water, even though she is quite obviously bone-dry.
