Online Californian retailer Gympsum has dropped its West Coast lookbook.
The online women's boutique offers one-of-a-kind pieces, restored vintage and international designs. The company is continually "inspired by the Gypsum foxes that strut the streets to the crafty 'do-it-yourself-ers' of the world."
The latest offerings were inspired by the golden era of the 1950s. Each of the cut-out swimwear pieces, lacy cover-ups and flowy hats have a vintage element to them.
The lookbook features model Trew Mullen enjoying a lazy summer day by the pool. She wears retro chiffon head scarves, round sunglasses and high-waisted two pieces. Makeup artist Haley Buckner applied a heavy smokey eye and slick red lip to finish off the look. The West Coast lookbook was lensed by photographer Trever Hoehne.
