The Rachel Alexander [Grazia Germany](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grazia-co) editorial shows that there is no better place to set a retro photo shoot than at a roadside motel. In this case, the California desert motel backdrop accentuates the '60s-inspired ensembles beautifully. Complete with teal-colored bricks, flashing lights and old television sets, the setting has transported the model to another era completely.

Lensed by Hamburg-based photographer Leo Krumbacher for the magazine's most recent edition, the Rachel Alexander Grazia Germany editorial was styled by Nino Cerone. The United Kingdom beauty is garbed in a colorful wardrobe filled with form-fitting silhouettes and bold prints from fashion houses such as [Dolce & Gabbana](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign), [Prada](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dimensions-eyeshadow-palette), Christopher Kane and Miu Miu.

The Rachel Alexander Grazia Germany editorial was produced by GlamPR.
