For GQ Germany's August 2017 issue, Kylie Jenner posed in a series of shots for a short editorial that focused on [minimalist and summery looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit).

The editorial was lensed by photographer and director Mike Rosenthal, who has an impressive portfolio of work with celebrities who come from all over the film and music industries. The shots that focus on the young socialite are set in a [luxurious poolside resort](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/viva-resort-25-collection), however she tends to pose indoors, where she's shown leaning against simplistic walls or sitting up in bed.

To maintain the minimalist look that the setting provides, GQ Germany shows Jenner in [neutral-toned swimsuits and lingerie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat) -- making for a soft look that draws more attention to her natural look.
