But rather than have model Anne Vyalitsyna ride in the basket of the hot air balloon, photographer Tom Munro captured Anne *inside* the balloon. The ads were styled by Giovani Bianco. **Implications** - The ever-evolving fashion industry has an array of sub-industries that all strive to keep up with one another.
