For those looking to make a bold statement at the beach this year, the ELLE UK May 2014 editorial provides just the right inspiration for them. In place of vibrant feminine designs, it showcases a range of edgy all-black options that will effectively turn the wearer into a beach ninja instead of a beach bunny.
Starring model Zuri Tibby, the ELLE UK May 2014 editorial is titled 'Shape Shifter.' She really does display a range of shapes throughout the photoshoot thanks to the different cuts showcased throughout. Posing statuesquely in front of photographer Marcus Ohlsson’s lens (WM Artist Management), the American beauty showcases pieces from the likes of Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana and Alexander McQueen. She was shot on location at Mojave Desert’s El Mirage Dry Lake Bed.
