Retro Seaside Features

The Doutzen Kroes H&M Magazine Series Channels Bridgitte Bardot

This new Doutzen Kroes H&M Magazine feature is the ideal start to a long hot summer basking in the sun.

Called "The Modern Beach Bardot," the collection of photos follows the gorgeous Victoria's Secret model as she enjoys her time on the beach against palm trees and hammocks. Photographed by Terry Richardson in Mexico, the spread shows off the retailer's many different offerings of bikinis, one-pieces and big floppy sun hats. It seems like retro details like lace and fringe will be popular for the brand's summer pieces.

The model also stars in H&M's ready to wear campaign for summer. Check out the Doutzen Kroes H&M Magazine summer series to see how retro is in for this year's beachside festivities.
