For the latest summer issue of Schön! Magazine, brunette bombshell Harriet Taylor posed in cross-stitch bikinis with unconventional handwritten phrases printed all over her body.
Schön! Magazine took typical summer fashion in an interesting direction by dressing model Harriet Taylor up in seductive bathing suits, skirts and dresses that were neutral-toned. Rather than having an emphasis on traditional floral and bright colors, European photographer Amanda Camenisch shot Taylor in black, white and camel-colored outfits that focused more on juxtaposing textures -- like cotton with leather fringe -- than colors. Taylor's arms, legs and torso were also creatively covered in handwritten multi-lingual words and phrases. The text on Taylor's body draw more attention to her body rather than the clothes. The effect is a monochromatic shoot that is both avant-garde and edgy.
