Photographed by Polish fashion photographer Marcin Tyszka, the spread is called 'Belleville-Bamako' and features a slew of [vibrant tribal-inspired pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vowels-1). Prints and pattens reign supreme in ensembles that pack a bright and bold punch. The spread was styled by Alexandra Elbim, who dressed Tvirbutaite in designs by Chloe, Pringle of Scotland, Kenzo, Gucci and more. The styles range from splashy printed pants and headscarves to chic wrap skirts, oversized beaded jewelry and chunky wedge sandals.
