Jessica Hart has a spring in her step in the 'Throw Coats' editorial for Porter Magazine's #3 Summer 2014 issue.
Fashion editor Maya Zepinic dressed Hart in a series of tribal-inspired throw coats, worn overtop equally-as-colorful bathing suits. Each look is accessorized with strappy sandals, opulent bracelets and, in some cases, a colorful handbag. Hart's long limbs -- seriously, they appear to be longer than by entire body at its full height -- subtle tan and beachy waves complete each shot.
Photographer Chris Colls shot Harper in mid-leaps and bounds for the editorial. And who could blame her for being light-footed and joyful in these stunning looks? Never mind sarongs and loose cover-ups, throw coats are the latest in beach accessories.
