The Missy Rayder WSJ Magazine March 2011 editorial emotes a distinct tropical vibe that makes the marvelous model seem like a mermaid washed up onshore. The [long maxi dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marie-oliver) incorporate [vibrant colors, bold prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Anna-Suis-SpringSummer-2025) and clingy materials, with a shoot that ultimately showcases the decadent dress designs ready for the Spring season.

The sun-kissed model's tousled, twisted and textured hair looks as if she's just emerged from a day spent riding the waves. With writhing poses and wistful glances into the camera, Rayder channels her inner beach babe on the beautiful shores of Turks and Caicos. I love the use of island elements as props, from the large palm tree leaf, bright tropical flowers and [pretty purple lei](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salty-mermaid).

The Missy Rayder WSJ Magazine March 2011 editorial, entitled 'High Tide', was captured by photographer Catherine Servel.
