The Harper's Bazaar China Training Day photoshoot is currently on display in the magazine's May 2015 edition. Models Stephanie Joy Field, Eva Downey, Izzy Jarrett, Seth Turnbull and Ethan Robertson posed in the production which was centered upon a faux lifeguarding scene.
Stylist Elle Packham dressed this high end team in crop tops, cut out one piece suits and windbreakers. Although the pieces are suited to sandy shores and warm waters, they were visibly upscale due to chic fabrics and asymmetrical, avant-garde cuts.
Strips of blue, red and yellow face paint were applied by make-up artist Naomi McFadden. These additions made for modern twists that are rarely seen in the summertime. The subtlety present in McFadden's method is nonetheless approachable.
