'La Li Bella' by Amanda Fordyce captures the beautiful model Claire Collins poolside at an stunning old Beverly Hills apartment building. This gorgeous series shows Collins posing in feminine bathing suits, floral dresses and lyrca to recreate a unique old [Hollywood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mulholland) look with a modern touch.

The Beverly Hills apartment was built in the 1920s, and the model is captured along the staircase and in the alluring swimming pool. Hair stylist Rosa kept the model's hair in a low loose bun, and her makeup is light giving her skin a glowing look.

Amanda Foryce has done editorials for Elle, [Vogue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forever-care), L'Officiel and H&M. Claire Collins is represented by Chadwicks in Melbourne and IMG Worldwide. She is a rising model who has previously modelled for Rachel Zoe and [Chanel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coco-mademoiselles) in Paris.
