Kite-Flying Editorials

Way Up High in Out Magazine June/July 2011 Features Summer Fun

— May 30, 2011 — Fashion
The summer season is a perfect time to fly kites at the beach, and Way Up High in Out Magazine June/July 2011 is an editorial that showcases that very phenomenon. Models Sebastian Sauve, Philipp Bierbaum and William Potter are photographed having fun at the beach, flying kites and climbing trees like kids.

Photographer Thomas Giddings and fashion editor Grant Woolhead combine creative forces for the Out Magazine editorial. Woolhead selected an array of separates from Prada, Burberry Prorsum and Marc Jacobs that include leather pants, fleece vests, plaid pants, wild animal-print shorts and netted shirts.

Way Up High in Out Magazine June/July 2011 is the exact sort of pictorial that gets us pumped about the dog days of summer at the beach.
