The [Vogue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vogue-singapore) Nippon May 2010 editorial 'The Girl from Atlantis' features model Alla Kostromichova in underwater fashion treasures from Miu Miu, Versace and the late Alexander McQueen.

The calm waters in this shoot complement the ethereal beauty of the clothing, as each piece resembles something found in real-life sea waters. The clothing shines through the pages of this spread with sparking accents of beading, sequins, scales and pearls.

Shot by Solve Sundsbo and styled by George Cortina, the underwater fashion treasures glisten on 'The Girl from Atlantis.'
