The C Magazine Summer 2014 editorial is inspired by birds of paradise. This is evident not only by the vibrant colors and boldly patterned fashion, but also by the title of the photoshoot itself. Channeling her own inner exotic bird, model Frida Gustavsson flourishes her fine feathers in a pretty and feminine way. If it were mating season, she would come out a winner.
Lensed by Hilary Walsh of Atelier Management, the C Magazine Summer 2014 editorial is captured on location in a lush and tropical setting. Surrounded by green foliage, the summery outfits stand out beautifully. They were put together by stylist Samantha Traina and feature pieces from such labels as Celine, Etro and Tommy Hilfiger. The looks were finished with wavy hair by Nikki Providence and orange lips by Carlene Jacobs.
