In this summer editorial for Oyster #92, model Bambi Northwood-Blyth hits the sand in fashion we're more accustomed to seeing in the club on the weekends. Fashion editor Imogene Barron outfits Northwood-Blyth in a variety of hot jewel-toned outfits from Louis Vuitton, Gucci and Miu Miu, including a sequined long-sleeved dress, an Asian-inspired jacket and minidress, and a metallic silver motorcycle jacket paired with a pleated gold skirt and chrome-hued shoes.

The Oyster #92 editorial with Bambi Northwood-Blyth is called Lolita, which is a fitting title considering the effortless sensuality and innocent gaze she exudes for photographer Bec Parsons. I especially like the first image, in which Northwood-Blyth sips languidly from a straw dipped into a can of Diet Coke.
