World-renowned model Hilary Rhoda graces the pages of the special edition W May 2014 Issue in retro form. The model is known for her all-American aesthetic, so it is suiting that she was chosen for this editorial that is set in a 70s-looking American abode.
The home or set where the photos were taken boasts boldly patterned wall papers with matching furniture. 'More is More' couldn't be a more appropriate name for the editorial because just when you think their couldn't be any more patterned decor, there is. All the sets feature floral couches, cheetah-printed rugs and tropical pillow shams.
However, Hilary still stands out amongst all the vintage patterns due to her minimally clad body. In most photos, she is showing off her long gams in both two and one-piece bathing suits.
