The Stylist France Stretch the Linen editorial comes as a part of the magazine's June 2014 issue. Model Kristina Petrosiute sprawled out amid sandy shores in each image captured by photographer Laura Sciacovelli who brought to light varying takes on classic beachside looks.
Stylist Belen Casadevall assembled an enticing mixture of masculine meets feminine summertime wear with leather suspenders, button up shirts, pinstripe shorts and flannel additions. At the same time, Casadevall also opted for ivory bikini tops, revealing bandeaus and thin straps.
On top of Casadevall's unusual pairings, the most striking aspect of Stretch the Linen is its display of a sleeping Petrosiute as the magazine chose to showcase her mid-nap. This displays an alternative, more relaxed side to fashion.
