Drenched and dirty, Marique Schimmel plays the role of a cast away in the Harper’s Bazaar Australia 'Age of Aquarius' editorial. It looks like she isn't the only thing to have survived whatever crash she was involved in. Her luggage filled with luxurious fashion must have washed up on shore right next to her, as evident by the stunning styles she dons throughout the shoot.
The Harper’s Bazaar Australia 'Age of Aquarius' editorial was lensed by Benny Horne. Shot for the magazine's March 2012 issue, stylist Katie Mossman selected an array of glittering and sheer ensembles fit for a sea siren. The pretty pieces were picked from labels like Giorgio Armani, Ralph Lauren and Christopher Kane.
