However counterevolutionary the idea is, the obsession with danger is one reason why A Jewel of Costume is absolutely irresistible. Photographed by Nelson Simoneau within a [beautiful coastal setting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salty-mermaid) and featuring a breathtaking bikini model, this Italian Grazia editorial will unexpectedly sink its teeth into you with the power of a poisonous snakebite.

These spreads couldn't be farther from a collection of [flirty summer swimwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triangls-mirage-drop), but Dana Drori is short of no sex appeal as she sprawls and slithers across the sand wearing [swimsuits sewn from scaly snakeskin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/serpenti-line). The dark and detailed fabric used has been infused with a provocative metallic shine. Intense smoky eyes give the girl a satanic piercing stare that will make A Jewel of Costume stick in your mind like foisted toxins in your blood.
