Anais Mali dons tropical fashion staples for Porter's #7 issue. The publication's Spring 2015 installment is lensed by photographer David Bellemere and features wardrobe styling by Melanie Huynh.
Melanie dresses her muse in tropical fashion staples from a number of labels that include Saint Laurent, Just Cavalli and Missoni among other names. Anais dons slicked back hair and fresh-faced makeup in the shoot that is courtesy of Brian Buenaventura and Tatsu Yamanaka.
The model is dressed in botanically printed maxi dresses, cropped leather jackets and exotic accessories that would make a splash poolside or at the beach. The model is beach-ready but also sophisticated enough for an dinner date or night of dancing. Inspiring tropical travels, this fashion story celebrates eclectic accents.
